Gasser (1-0), called up from Triple-A Nashville
earlier in the day, allowed just a pair of early singles. The
24-year-old left-hander, acquired in the 2022 deadline deal that
sent All-Star closer Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres, struck
out four, walked none and hit one batter in his 79-pitch outing.
Gasser was 0-1 with a 5.25 ERA at Nashville after opening the
season on the injured list with left elbow inflammation. He was
9-1 with a 3.79 ERA in 26 games (25 starts) last season at
Triple-A.
Milwaukee took control with five runs in the fifth to go up 7-0.
Jake Bauers drew a one-out walk, stole second and scored on
Brice Turang's two-out double. Turang stole third as William
Contreras walked, chasing starter Lance Lynn.
Matthew Liberatore relieved and Christian Yelich reached on a
bunt single that hit the bag at third, scoring Turang to make it
4-0. Willy Adames lined a two-run double to right and took third
on the throw. Rhys Hoskins followed with an RBI single.
The Cardinals scored one run in the seventh off Kevin Herget on
a walk and two-out double by Alec Burleson.
The Brewers answered with four in the bottom half of the seventh
on three hits and two walks, capped by Bauers' two-run triple.
Nolan Gorman made it 11-2 in the ninth with his fifth homer.
Lynn (1-1) allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits in 4 2/3
innings while walking two and striking out five.
After managing just one hit through three innings, Milwaukee
pushed two runs across in the fourth. Contreras doubled leading
off the inning and advanced on Yelich's single. Yelich stole
second and Hoskins followed with an RBI single to left. Yelich
continued home on an error by left fielder Lars Nootbaar.
