Priester (13-2) carried a shutout into the
sixth inning. He ended up allowing two runs and five hits while
striking out five and walking one.
According to Sportradar, the last pitcher to win at least 12
consecutive decisions within a single season was Gerrit Cole,
who won 16 straight with the Houston Astros in 2019.
The Brewers won in their return home after getting swept in a
three-game series at Texas. The Cardinals dropped their fourth
straight.
Yelich hit a two-run homer off Jorge Alcala in the seventh
inning. His 28th homer of the year was a 432-foot blast off the
center-field scoreboard.
The Brewers broke a scoreless tie with four runs in a
third-inning rally that featured just one hit, on a bunt single.
Andre Pallante (6-14) started the inning by walking Jake Bauers
and Caleb Durbin. After a bunt hit from Joey Ortiz loaded the
bases, Pallante walked Sal Frelick to bring in one run.
Jackson Chourio then hit a sacrifice fly to right fielder Jordan
Walker, who threw to the plate to try to retire Durbin. Walker’s
throw instead hit the sliding Durbin in the back and rolled
toward the Brewers dugout, enabling Ortiz to also score.
Frelick raced home from third on Brice Turang’s bouncer to
first.
Key moment
Trailing 5-2, the Cardinals loaded the bases with two outs in
the seventh to put the potential tying run on first. Brewers
reliever Aaron Ashby escaped the jam by getting Alec Burleston
to hit a inning-ending grounder.
Key stat
Priester has allowed two runs or fewer in 10 of his last 11
appearances, including each of his last five.
