Nolan Arenado hit an RBI single and extended
his on-base streak to 21 games as the Cardinals won two of three
in the series. Victor Scott II went 3-for-4 and scored a run,
and Alec Burleson went 2-for-2 with two walks and a run.
Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta held the Cardinals
scoreless for five innings on three hits and two walks. He
struck out two.
Reliever Nick Mears (1-5) took the loss.
Mikolas worked out of trouble in the first inning. Jackson
Chourio hit a one-out double and moved to third on William
Contreras' single. But Mikolas struck out Garrett Mitchell and
retired Willy Adames on a groundout.
Milwaukee dodged trouble in the third inning after Scott hit a
one-out double. Peralta walked Burleson with two outs and hit
Willson Contreras with a pitch, but Brendan Donovan flied out to
end the inning.
Lars Nootbaar appeared to hit a solo homer in the fourth inning
for St. Louis, but Mitchell leaped and reached over the wall in
right-center to deny him.
The Cardinals took a 3-0 lead in the seventh inning against
Mears and Bryse Wilson. Singles by Scott, Masyn Winn and
Burleson loaded the bases, then Mears walked Willson Contreras
to force in a run.
Donovan hit into fielder's choice, scoring Winn, then Arenado
greeted Wilson with an RBI single. Nootbaar walked, but Wilson
ended the rally by getting Luken Baker to pop out.
Winn reached on a sun-aided single with two outs in the eighth
inning and went to third on Burleson's single. But Willson
Contreras flied out to strand them.
