St. Louis CardinalsvsMilwaukee Brewers

STL 0/MIL 6

MLB.TVAmerican Family Field
Things to say

Brewers shut out the Cardinals 6-0 at American Family Field.

01
opener
Brewers handled the Cardinals 6-nothing. Milwaukee's just rolling right now, 32 and 20. St. Louis bats showed up with nothing.
02
key player
Whoever Milwaukee ran out there got into his stuff early — a shutout against a division rival, that's a statement line.
03
hot take
Cardinals look cooked. You don't get no-hit-vibed by a division opponent in late May and call it a blip.
04
deep cut
Brewers are eleven games over .500 and nobody's talking about them. Quietly the best team in the Central.
05
exit
Anyway — should be a fun rest of the series, Cards have to answer back tomorrow or this thing's over.
The recap

Brewers shut out the Cardinals 6-0 at American Family Field, and it wasn't really close at any point. Milwaukee's starter got into his stuff early and the bullpen never had to sweat, which is exactly how you want a home series to open.

St. Louis couldn't string anything together against the heart of the Brew Crew rotation, and now Milwaukee's sitting pretty at 32-20 while the Cards drop to 29-24.

Classic divisional beatdown — Milwaukee looked like the better club from first pitch to last.
