Bauers and Turang homers help the NL Central-leading Brewers beat the Cardinals
8-4
ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Jake Bauers hit a three-run home run, Brice Turang added his
13th homer of the season, and the Milwaukee Brewers used a six-run third inning
to rally past the St. Louis Cardinals 8-4 on Thursday night to claim four of
five games in the series.
Milwaukee won four games in a series at St. Louis for the second time in
franchise history and the first time since 2008. The NL Central-leading Brewers
are 59-34 with one series to go before the All-Star break.
Turang opened the decisive third with an RBI single before Bauers hit his 17th
homer of the season into the seats in right, giving Milwaukee a 6-0 lead it
never surrendered. Bauers is tied for the MLB lead with seven three-run homers.
Turang hit a solo shot to center in the seventh, extending the lead to 7-4.
Sal Frelick and Cooper Pratt each had RBI singles in the second inning to give
the Brewers an early 2-0 lead, and William Contreras capped the scoring with a
sacrifice fly that scored Jackson Chourio in the ninth.
Logan Henderson (3-1) threw 5 1/3 innings in his first start since May 22 after
landing on the 15-day injured list with a lower back strain. He struck out four
and allowed three runs on three hits.
Lars Nootbaar had an RBI single for St. Louis in the fourth, and Jordan Walker
added a three-run homer in the bottom of the sixth. Walker became the sixth
Cardinals player to have 73 or more RBIs before to the All-Star break since
1955.
Andre Pallante (10-6) allowed six runs on eight hits in five innings for the
Cardinals.
