Milwaukee, which clinched the National League
Central title Tuesday night, snapped a three-game losing streak.
Brian Anderson doubled to open the seventh off Jacob Barnes
(0-1). Matthew Liberatore relieved and Anderson stole third.
After William Contreras was intentionally walked with two outs,
Taylor lined a run-scoring double to center to make it 3-2.
The Cardinals loaded the bases in the eighth against Andrew
Chafin, who relieved Joel Payamps to start the inning. Jordan
Walker singled, Luken Baker walked and Lars Nootbaar reached on
a one-out error, but Chafin got Ivan Herrera on an inning-ending
double-play bouncer to first.
Payamps (7-5) got the win with a scoreless inning of relief.
Devin Williams survived a pair of two-out walks during a
scoreless ninth for his 36th save in 40 opportunities.
Milwaukee, which stranded runners in scoring position in the
second, third and fourth innings, tied it 2-2 with two runs in
the sixth. Contreras doubled to open the inning and Taylor
followed with an RBI double, continuing to third on a throwing
error by leftfielder Richie Palacios. Taylor beat the throw home
when Rowdy Tellez reached on a one-out fielder's choice bouncer
to first.
The Cardinals loaded the bases with no outs in the second, but
Brewers starter Wade Miley avoided a big inning, allowing just
one run.
Nootbaar singled on a dribbler to short, Herrera singled to
center, and Juniel Querecuto reached on a bunt to load the
bases. Masyn Winn's one-out sacrifice fly accounted for the lone
run.
St. Louis made it 2-0 in the sixth. Baker singled to open and
Nootbaar drew a one-out walk. Both runners advanced on a wild
pitch by Abner Uribe. After Herrera struck out, Uribe uncorked
another wild pitch to score Baker from third.
Miley scattered six hits over five innings, allowing one run,
with two strikeouts and a walk.
