Milwaukee starter Freddy Peralta (10-7) allowed
three runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings. The right-hander struck
out three and walked two.
Pedro Pages homered twice for St. Louis (69-69), which had won
four of five.
Cardinals starter Andre Pallante (6-7) surrendered five runs on
five hits in five innings, striking out three and walking a
season-high five.
Pallante walked Chourio and Jake Bauers in the first inning
before Adames stepped in with two outs.
After fouling off a pair of two-strike pitches, Adames lifted a
fastball that landed just beyond the reach of left fielder Lars
Nootbaar and bounced off the top of the fence for a three-run
homer to open the scoring.
It was the 29th home run of the season for Adames, who
celebrated his 29th birthday Monday.
It was also his 13th three-run blast of the season, which ties
Ken Griffey Jr. for the all-time major league record.
Peralta did not allow a hit until Pages homered over the center
field fence to start the third inning and cut the deficit to
3-1.
Garrett Mitchell singled to begin the fourth inning for
Milwaukee. Hoskins then jumped on a two-strike slider and pulled
it over the fence in left for a two-run homer and a 5-1 lead.
Pages went deep again with one out in the fifth to trim the lead
to 5-2.
Peralta retired the first batter in the sixth before he exited
after allowing a single to Brendan Donovan and a double to Paul
Goldschmidt.
Bryan Hudson entered and gave up a sacrifice fly to pinch-hitter
Luken Baker to cut the deficit to 5-3.
Hoskins walked to begin the bottom half of the sixth before Sal
Frelick followed with a double into the right-field corner.
Another walk to Joey Ortiz loaded the bases for Chourio, who
belted Milwaukee's eighth grand slam of the season to extend the
lead to 9-3.
