McGehee's 12th homer to straightaway center with two outs in the first gave the Brewers and Braden Looper a three-run cushion. The lead evaporated in the fourth when Pujols' 42nd leadoff homer was the first of four straight hits, with Colby Rasmus adding an RBI single and the tying run scoring on a doubleplay ball.
The Brewers singled three times in the sixth and took the lead on McGehee's single. St. Louis tied it in the bottom of the sixth on Ryan Ludwick's double and Yadier Molina's RBI single, both with two out.
Looper worked six innings for the fourth straight start, giving up four runs on eight hits.
NOTES: Cardinals RHP Todd Wellemeyer (elbow) had a poor start to an injury rehab assignment Monday with Triple-A Memphis, allowing four runs on three hits in two-thirds of an inning. ... The Cardinals activated Troy Glaus from the 60-day DL before the game. Glaus, out since shoulder surgery in January, was on deck as a pinch hitter in the eighth when the third was made.
