MILWAUKEE (AP) — Held without a hit through seven
innings, the Milwaukee Brewers broke through in the eighth with three
hits and two runs to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 on Wednesday.
Dustin May carried a no-hitter into the eighth for the Cardinals, who
have lost seven of nine games. May was looking to become just the third
pitcher in the history of American Family Field, which opened in 2001,
to pitch a no-hitter. |

Garrett Mitchell led off the eighth with a double and Luis
Rengifo followed with a single, chasing May (3-6). After Sal
Frelick grounded into a fielder’s choice and pinch-hitter Andrew
Vaughn struck out looking, Christian Yelich singled to drive in
Mitchell to tie the score, with Frelick moving to third. Frelick
then scored when Masyn Winn booted Jackson Chourio’s grounder.
The Cardinals got on the board in the fourth against Brewers
starter Chad Patrick when Jordan Walker led off with a single
and later scored on Bryan Torres’ triple.
The Brewers, who hold the top spot in the NL Central, have won
15 of their last 19 games.
Patrick gave up five hits and one run in four innings while
walking one and striking out four.
Shane Drohan, Aaron Ashby and Trevor Megill combined for five
scoreless innings.
Ashby (9-0) took over the major league lead in wins and Megill
recorded his sixth save in seven tries.
May, who came in with an ERA of 5.00, gave up two hits and two
runs (one earned) in seven innings. He struck out nine and
didn’t walk a batter in the hard-luck 87-pitch outing.

Cardinals: RHP Kyle Leahy (5-3, 4.44 ERA) takes the mound in the
opener of a three-game series against the Cubs in St. Louis on

Friday as the Brewers open a three-game series at Houston.
