Peralta (2-0) allowed four hits, striking out
seven and walking three in a 102-pitch outing. Peralta, limited
to 18 games and 78 innings last season due to shoulder issues,
has pitched six innings in each of his two starts, allowing one
run on six hits in 12 innings.
Adames put the Brewers in front 3-1 in the fifth with his second
homer, a two-out, 383-foot solo shot to left-center.
The Brewers pushed the lead to 6-1 in the seventh with three
runs off Andre Pallante. Christian Yelich hammered a one-out
solo homer to center, his first, and Rowdy Tellez added two-run
double.
St. Louis loaded the bases with none out in the eighth on a
single and two walks off Matt Bush, but failed to score.
Pinch-hitter Willson Contreras struck out and Tommy Edman flied
to left. Hoby Milner relieved and fanned pinch-hitter Taylor
Motter.
Peter Strzelecki tossed a scoreless seventh, his 14th
consecutive scoreless appearance dating back to last season.
Devin Williams finished with a scoreless ninth. The Brewers
bullpen has not allowed a run over the last 23 1/3 innings.
Cardinals starter Jake Woodford (0-2) allowed three runs on six
hits in 4 2/3 innings, striking out five and walking one.
Adames staked the Brewers to a 2-0 lead with a two-out, two-run
double in the third. Joey Wiemer walked with one out and Yelich
singled. Wiemer took third on a fly to center and Adames
followed with a drive to the base of the wall in left.
The Cardinals answered with a run in the fourth. Nolan Arenado
singled to open, Nolan Gorman drew a one-out walk, and rookie
Jordan Walker delivered an RBI single.
Walker's nine-game hitting streak to start his career matches
the Cardinals record set by Magneuris Sierra in 2017.
