 [June 24, 2022]
Tyrone Taylor hit a three-run
homer to help the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-4 win against the
visiting St. Louis Cardinals and earn a split of the four-game
series on Thursday afternoon.
Willy Adames also homered for Milwaukee, which won the opener of the
series before dropping the next two.
Brewers starter Jason Alexander (2-0) allowed four runs and six hits
in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out five and walked two.
Brad Boxberger and Devin Williams combined for 2 1/3 innings of
scoreless relief before Josh Hader struck out two in the ninth for
his 21st save.
Cardinals starter Dakota Hudson (5-4) allowed five runs and seven
hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out two and walked three.
Lars Nootbaar homered among two hits. Nolan Arenado and Nolan Gorman
also had two hits apiece for St. Louis.
The Cardinals took a 2-0 lead in the first inning when Paul
Goldschmidt doubled with Gorman on first. Gorman beat the throw home
and the ball caromed away to Alexander, who made a wild throw to
third to allow Goldschmidt to score.
The Brewers got a run back in the bottom of the first on a
run-scoring groundout by Rowdy Tellez to make it 2-1.
The Brewers didn't score after loading the bases with no outs in the
third, but came back with three runs in the fourth on Taylor's
towering home run.

Andrew McCutchen started the inning with a single,
but was thrown out while trying to score standing up on a base hit
by Victor Caratini. Taylor stepped up, however, and blasted the
three-run homer for a 4-2 lead.
Nootbaar homered to start the fifth and trimmed the lead to 4-3.
Adames homered to lead off the bottom half of the inning and
re-establish the two-run lead at 5-3.
The Cardinals put runners on second and third with no outs in the
sixth, but only pushed one run across on a sacrifice fly by Juan
Yepez to make it 5-4.
The Brewers came back with a sacrifice fly by Jace Peterson in the
eighth to push the lead to 6-4.
