ATLANTA -- With just two hits over the first 6 2/3 innings of Saturday’s matchup against the Cardinals, the Braves were in danger of being shut out for the third time in five games.

Eddie Rosario and Ozzie Albies had other ideas. Rosario hit a game-tying, two-out, two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning, and Albies’ walk-off sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th helped Atlanta to a 3-2 win in Game 1 of a split doubleheader at Truist Park.

Cardinals starting pitcher Kyle Gibson gave Atlanta hitters fits through six innings of work, as he allowed just two hits and kept the Braves off the board.

With two down in the bottom of the seventh, Travis d’Arnaud singled. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol elected to pull Gibson and bring on Ryan Fernandez to face Rosario in relief. Rosario greeted Fernandez by hitting a 1-0 slider a Statcast-projected 360 feet into the Chop House in right-field.

The next two innings were scoreless, which forced extra innings. Pierce Johnson pitched a scoreless 10th, aided by a Matt Olson unassisted double play that ended the top half of the inning and preserved the tie.

Adam Duvall was the Braves’ placed runner in the bottom of the 10th and a Zack Short sacrifice bunt moved him to third. Jarred Kelenic walked, took scored second on defensive indifference and Albies drove in Short with a sacrifice fly to center.

Charlie Morton earned a no-decision after allowing one run on six hits over six innings. He struck out four and walked one.
