| Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brewers | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 0 |
| Cardinals | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | - | 5 | 11 | 1 |
So this first battle for first place in the NL Central this year was pretty much dead on arrival, and not in the way I expected.
While the Cubs are busy trying to sweep the Reds, the Brewers (8-6) thought it would be a great time lie down for the Cardinals (11-4).
Adam Wainwright (2-1) continues to impress. Oscar Villanueva (1-2) doesn’t. Jason Isringhausen (S 6) got his sixth save, in thrilling fashion! Of course, the thrill was all self-created as he allowed two runs in the 9th to make an easy save look closer. But like so many other ninth-inning specialists, that is typical.
The Cardinals bring the brooms to Busch today at 12:15pm CDT, as Manny Parra goes against Kyle Lohse.
