John King retired two batters in the eighth
inning and closer Ryan Helsley got the last four outs for his
12th save.
Willson Contreras homered for the Cardinals (67-83) to provide
the game's only run.
Starter Freddy Peralta (12-9) allowed one run on four hits in
six innings for the Brewers (84-66). He struck out six batters
and walked nobody.
Peralta has held opponents to two runs over fewer in seven of
his last eight starts.
Wainwright came into the game 21-14 with a 2.74 ERA in 54 career
appearances against the Brewers, including 47 starts. He induced
10 groundouts, including two that produced double plays.
Brewers center fielder Sal Frelick kept the Cardinals off the
scoreboard in the second inning. After Jordan Walker hit a
two-out single, Frelick made an excellent running catch on Tommy
Edman's would-be RBI extra-base hit into the right-center field
gap.
Wainwright stranded two runners in the third inning. Brice
Turang drew a one-out walk and Frelick hit a two-out single, but
William Contreras grounded out to end the threat.
Milwaukee left another runner in scoring position in the fourth
inning. Willy Adames hit a two-out double off the glove of
diving left fielder Richie Palacios, but Wainwright struck out
Rowdy Tellez.
Willson Contreras' homer put the Cardinals up 1-0 in the bottom
of the inning.
Wainwright left another runner in scoring position in the
seventh inning. Mark Canha hit a leadoff single, moved up on a
groundout and stole third base with two outs -- but Josh
Donaldson flied out to leave him there.
