The Cardinals scored three runs in the fourth inning, in which Chipper Jones committed a throwing error, taking a 3–2 lead.

[11] Prior to the game, MLB's official Twitter bio included the joke "We don't understand the infield fly rule either".

[12] In the bottom of the ninth inning, batting against Cardinals closer Jason Motte, Chipper Jones reached first base on an infield single in his final Major League at-bat.

Freddie Freeman hit a ground rule double, bringing Dan Uggla to bat as the potential tying run.

Motte retired Uggla with a groundout to record the save, then both teams rushed off the field after fans resumed throwing debris.
