 ATLANTA (AP) - Raul Mondesi and Dan Kolb finally did something to help their new team. Mondesi homered leading off the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Atlanta Braves a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night, giving Kolb his first win with the Braves.
Mondesi was batting just .200 when he connected on the second pitch from James Journell (0-1). It was the fifth game-winning homer of Mondesi's career, the last coming on Aug. 2, 2003, with Arizona.
"This is a good feeling," he said. "When you come to a new team, you want to show everybody you can do the job. I've been trying too hard."
