Brewers starting pitcher Tobias Myers allowed two runs on six hits in four innings. He struck out five and walked two.

The Brewers moved ahead 4-2 in the seventh inning. Hoskins and Ortiz walked, Brice Turang reached on a bunt, and Chourio hit a two-run single.

But the Cardinals tied the score in their half of the inning. Alec Burleson hit a double and Baker smacked a pinch-hit homer in his first big league at-bat of the season.
