Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 as St. Louis rebounded
from back-to-back losses. His third-inning blast gave the
Cardinals a 2-0 lead, and they added runs on Edmundo Sosa's
pinch-hit RBI triple and Lars Nootbaar's fielder's-choice
grounder in the seventh.
Cardinals starter Dakota Hudson gave up five hits and walked
four but managed to hold the Brewers scoreless through 4 2/3
innings. He struck out three.
The St. Louis bullpen took it from there, although the Brewers'
Keston Hiura hit a two-run homer in the top of the ninth to trim
the deficit.
Ryan Helsley entered out of the bullpen to get the final two
outs and earn his third save.
Drew VerHagen (2-0) picked up the win, and Genesis Cabrera was
particularly impressive, striking out two in two shutout
innings. He allowed just one hit and did not surrender any
walks.
St. Louis' Harrison Bader had two singles and a run.
The Brewers left eight runners on base and were 0-for-4 with
runners in scoring position.
Milwaukee had a chance to get its offense going early, but left
a pair of runners stranded in the second, and with the bases
loaded in the third, Andrew McCutchen grounded into an
inning-ending double play.
Omar Narvaez and Tyrone Taylor went 2-for-4 and Kolten Wong went
2-for-5 to account for six of the Brewers' eight hits.
Losing pitcher Brandon Woodruff (5-3) kept Milwaukee in
contention but exited the game prior to the bottom of the fifth
due to an ankle injury. He said postgame that he believed the
ailment was minor, but there is a chance he could miss a start.
In four innings, the right-hander allowed two hits and two runs.
He walked one and struck out four.
Luis Perdomo took over for Woodruff and pitched two scoreless
innings with two strikeouts.
