With the NL Central title already clinched, the
Brewers (90-69) were able to pull Burnes after 66 pitches with a
2-0 lead. Burnes allowed five hits, striking out four and
walking one.
Julio Teheran (3-5) followed with four scoreless innings,
allowing one hit with four strikeouts and no walks in earning
the decision. Ethan Small survived a pair of two-out walks in
the ninth for his first career save.
Dakota Hudson (6-3) allowed three runs on seven hits in five
innings, striking out three and walking three for the Cardinals
(69-90).
Milwaukee took a 1-0 lead in the first when Christian Yelich
doubled to open and William Contreras followed with an RBI
single, extending his hitting streak to a career-high 15 games.
The Brewers added a run in the third. Garrett Mitchell,
activated earlier in the day after being on the injured list
since April 19 with a left shoulder injury, doubled to left in
his first at-bat. Yelich followed with an RBI single to right.
St. Louis loaded the bases with one out in the fourth on a walk
and two bloop singles, but Burnes got Juniel Querecuto on a soft
liner and then fanned Masyn Winn for the right-hander's 200th
strikeout of the season.
Milwaukee made it 3-0 in the sixth when Carlos Santana led off
with a single, took third on a single by Mark Canha and came
home on a double-play grounder.
Milwaukee closes the regular season at home with three games
against the Chicago Cubs, who went into Thursday night's game at
Atlanta tied with the Miami Marlins for the final NL wild-card
spot.
