St. Louis CardinalsvsMilwaukee Brewers
STL 1/MIL 2
Things to say
The Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 at home.
01
opener
Classic pitcher's duel, man. Two to one, the kind of game where every pitch matters. Brewers just did enough to take it.
02
key player
Whoever Milwaukee ran out there was dealing. One run all day means the guy really got into his stuff and worked the corners.
03
hot take
Honestly the Cards' bats are the story. You only put up one run, you don't deserve to beat a team sitting at 33-20.
04
deep cut
Getaway day too, early start, and the Brewers pen slammed the door late instead of the manager going to it too early. That's how good teams close it out.
05
exit
Anyway, Milwaukee's rolling at 33-20. I wanna see if St. Louis can answer back next series.
The recap
Pitchers' duel in Milwaukee, and the Brewers scraped out a 2-1 win to keep rolling at home. Nobody left the yard here — this was all about arms and small ball, with both starters dealing into the late innings.
The Cardinals' bats went quiet at the worst time, stranding the tying run and never solving the Brewers' bullpen down the stretch. Milwaukee's now 33-20 and looking like the real deal in the Central, while St.
Louis drops to 29-25 and heads home stewing over a game they let slip away.
