Brewers rally past Cardinals 4-3 on a 4-run seventh inning
ST. LOUIS (AP) --- David Hamilton and Brice Turang drove in two runs each
during a four-run seventh inning and the Milwaukee Brewers rallied from a
three-run deficit to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 on Monday night.
Garrett Mitchell opened the seventh with a single off reliever Justin Bruihl
and Sal Frelick greeted Ryan Fernandez (1-2) with a ground-rule double.
Cooper Pratt was safe on Fernandez's fielding error to load the bases and
Hamilton followed with a two-run double. Ryne Stanek came in and surrendered a
go-ahead two-run single to Turang.
Turang's fielding error led to two unearned runs off Shane Drohan (4-2) in the
third as St. Louis jumped in front.
Nelson Velzquez had a leadoff double in the sixth and scored on a single by
Masyn Winn for a 3-0 advantage. It was the only earned run allowed by Drohan on
six hits in six innings.
Chad Patrick struck out two in two perfect innings and Trevor Megill gave up a
leadoff single to Winn before finishing off his 14th save in 16 opportunities.
St. Louis starter Dustin May threw 81 pitches on three days rest and left with
two outs and runners on the corners in the fifth. Bruihl retired Christian
Yelich on a groundout to keep it 2-0.
May allowed four hits and struck out seven in 4 2/3 innings. Bruihl got four
outs and was charged with a run. Fernandez surrendered three runs --- two
earned --- without retiring a batter.
