scoreless innings. He allowed six hits, striking out three and
walking three -- needing just 53 pitches the rest of the way.

trying for a triple.

innings and Ryan Helsley finished with a perfect ninth for his
12th save in 13 chances.

Lars Nootbaar's two-out single. Goldschmidt followed with a
single to left to tie it 3-3.
Goldschmidt, who snapped a career-worst 0-for-32 slump Saturday

Milwaukee scored three in the first, but missed an opportunity
to add on.

Joey Ortiz followed with an RBI groundout. Gary Sanchez
delivered a run-scoring single to left, but Hoskins was thrown
out at home to end the inning.
St. Louis got a run back in the second when Nootbaar drew a
two-out, bases-loaded walk.

both were ejected in the top of the third.
