Season series: Tied 2-2
Things got a little out of control in Monday’s series opener as the Brewers were stomped 18-1 by St. Louis. The Brew Crew scored just 1 run on 6 hits. They are 8-12 in their last 20 games and 10-10 on the road this season.
It’s safe to say the Cardinals have awakened. After losing 8 straight to fall to 10-24, they’ve won 7 of 8. The 16 hits tied a season-high, and the 18 runs were a season high. It’s no coincidence that 3B Nolan Arenado has broken out of a season-long slump. He’s hitting .440 with 4 HR and 12 RBIs over the last 7 days.
