Season series: Brewers lead 7-1
The Brew Crew won their 6th straight and continued the dominance against the Cardinals and the NL Central. They’re now 26-14 against divisional foes and have opened an 11 1/2-game lead in the Central. C William Contreras had 3 hits in the 3-2 win Tuesday.
The Cards cut it to 3-2 late in the game and had something unthinkable happen. Brewers closer Devin Williams pitched around OF Lars Nootbaar to load the bases in the 9th for 1B Paul Goldschmidt with 1 out. He struck out. 2B Nolan Gorman struck out after him to end it. This kind of offensive blasphemy has taken place all year with runners in scoring position. The Cards have lost 8 of 10 and 13 of 20.
