Cardinals 11, Braves 4

ATLANTA — Colby Rasmus hit a pair of homers, Albert Pujols and Skip Schumaker also connected, and Adam Wainwright bounced back from a shaky first inning to lead the Cardinals to the win. The Braves, looking to turn things around after a poor road trip knocked them out of first place in the NL East, jumped ahead 3-0 in the first inning. But the Cardinals rocked Jair Jurrjens (7-5) for five runs in the second — capped by Schumaker’s two-out, two-run drive — and Atlanta took its sixth loss in eight games.

Rockies 6, Reds 5

DENVER — Chris Nelson stole home in the eighth inning to send the Rockies to the four-game series sweep and their season-best seventh consecutive victory. With one out and runners on the corners, Nelson broke for home before Nick Masset (3-4) threw his first pitch to Miguel Olivo. Inexplicably, Masset stepped off the mound, whirled to his left and toward second base. Nelson scored easily to give the Rockies a 6-5 lead.
