ST. LOUIS -- Atlanta Braves outfielder Jeff Francoeur is known for his strong throwing arm, but it let him down Friday night against the St. Louis Cardinals.Francoeur came up throwing as Matt Holliday tried to score on a two-out single by Jaime Garcia in the bottom of the second. The throw was offline and Holliday scored what turned the only run in the Cardinals 1-0 win.It was just a bad throw, kind of straight in the ground, which I dont usually do, Francoeur said. So that was a frustrating one.Right-hander Joel De La Cruz (0-4), still vying for his first major league win, gave up the run and two hits with five walks in 5 1/3 innings.To be honest feel like I didnt really pitch my best tonight, De La Cruz said through an interpreter. I know Ive got more in the tank and I can do a little bit better next time.Garcia (8-8) frustrated the Braves lineup, pitching eight scoreless innings, striking out 11. He became the first Cardinals pitcher with the lone RBI in a 1-0 win since Harvey Haddix did it against Pittsburgh on July 17, 1955.I think the only thing that would have made it better would be to hit a home run for the only run, Garcia said.He pitched out of a two-on, no out jam in the fourth, striking out Freddie Freeman and Matt Kemp before getting Adonis Garcia to ground out. Freeman and Kemp, the Braves Nos. 3 and 4 hitters, were a combined 0 for 6 against Jaime Garcia with five strikeouts.Especially in the 4th inning, we had first and third and nobody out and we had the right guys up too, Braves manager Brian Snitker said. He did a great job. He kept the ball off speed enough; he had a couple different breaking balls and keeping the ball off the fat part of the bat.The Cardinals have won six of their last eight games at home to improve to 26-30 at Busch Stadium. St. Louis has won all four games this season against the Braves.Atlantas Ender Inciarte extended his hitting streak to 16 games by leading the game off with a single.Atlanta has lost eight of its last 11 games at St. Louis.Francoeur tipped his cap to Garcia.Ive faced him many times obviously all through the years and he had all three pitches working tonight, Francoeur said. He had his changeup, his fastball/2-seamer and the curveball and he was doing what he wanted whenever he wanted.Seung Hwan Oh got the last three outs for his ninth save.Snitker thought De La Cruz pitched well.He battled his tail off out there and the movement was good in his cutter and slider, Snitker said. That kid he gives you everything he has every time he goes out there.HEAD OVER HEELSBraves 3B Adonis Garcia tumbled into the camera well next to the Atlanta dugout to make an acrobatic catch on Brandon Moss pop foul in bottom of the third inning.It was awesome, Francoeur said. I actually saw him from right field disappear and the next thing I saw was a baseball coming over the thing. It was a great play.WELCOME BACKCardinals All-Star INF Matt Carpenter returned from the disabled list after missing 24 games with a right oblique strain.

Sydneys forward pressure will be key to beating the Western Bulldogs and claiming top spot on the AFL ladder, co-captain Jarrad McVeigh says.With leaders Hawthorn on a bye, the Swans can reach the summit with a win at the SCG on Saturday.But McVeigh has warned the heat will be on his teams forwards to shut down the Bulldogs efficient running defence, an effective part of their game despite the absence of creative captain Bob Murphy (knee).The forwards play a huge role every week but more so this week, McVeigh said on Thursday.(The Bulldogs have) got a lot of elite ball users who do run the footy out well and have a lot of pace.With Bud (Lance Franklin), Gary (Rohan), Ben McGlynn and James Rose up there, chasing those guys down and putting pressure on them will be a huge part of the game for us.We value our forward pressure and the work off the ball, and those guys will have to bring that this weekend.The midfield battle will be another vital factor, with the Swans leading the league for average contested possessions and the Bulldogs in third.Its going to be a great game - two teams high up on the ladder, McVeigh said.Weve been watching a lot of their vision, wevve had both teams coming off the bye and well be raring to go.ddddddddddddIm sure its going to be a hot start.McVeigh will qualify for AFL life membership in his 277th match for the Swans.Along with his 20 pre-season games and three International Rules appearances hes set to hit the qualifying 300-mark.The 31-year-old has been in excellent form despite a belated start to the season, after hamstring tightness delayed his return from off-season knee surgery.Since his return McVeigh has shown versatility in numerous roles, something hes happy to continue with.The strength of my game has been able to play in different positions, he said.This year Ive played forward, wing, midfield and defence.At this point its along the halfback line which I trained for in the pre-season so thats what Im really enjoying.Weve got (Zak) Jones and Callum Mills who are playing some really good footy as young players in that area as well.Theyve got the ability to play in all different positions as well, which is a real strength of our smaller halfback types.
