Drew Smyly didn’t allow a hit until the sixth inning, Ronald Acuña Jr. hit his 100th career homer and the Atlanta Braves earned a split of a day-night doubleheader with a 1-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night.
He held the Cardinals hitless until Paul Goldschmidt reached on an infield single with two outs in the sixth.
Acuña hit his first homer in 10 games, snapping his longest drought of the season.
Kuang Hyun Kim (1-5) allowed three hits and one run in four innings. He was pulled for a pinch hitter in the fifth.
The Cardinals are off Monday. Johan Oviedo will start Tuesday’s game at Detroit.
