ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Jacob Misiorowski struck out 11 in seven strong innings,
Christian Yelich drove in a pair of runs and the Milwaukee Brewers rallied to
beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 in the first game of a split doubleheader on
Tuesday.
Misiorowski (10-4) allowed three hits, including a pair of homers, and didn't
walk a batter. The 24-year-old right-hander threw 57 of his 103 pitches at 100
mph or more. It's the third time this season he has thrown at least 57 pitches
100 mph or more.
Aaron Ashby pitched a scoreless eighth and Abner Uribe earned his sixth save in
eight opportunities as the Brewers won their third straight.
Jordan Walker hit a two-run homer in the first inning for the Cardinals, and
Ivn Herrera added a solo shot in the third.
Joey Ortiz's double got the Brewers on the board and Yelich followed with an
RBI single to tie it at 2 in the third inning. Garrett Mitchell's RBI single
pulled the Brewers even at 3-all in the sixth. Yelich's RBI double off JoJo
Romero broke a 3-all tie in the seventh.
Walker's 21st homer of the season left his bat at 105.6 mph, according to
Statcast. Herrera is hitting .333 (4 for 12) with a pair of homers in his
career against Misiorowski.
Matt Svanson served as the opener for the Cardinals, pitching a scoreless
first. Bruce Zimmermann, who was selected from Triple-A Memphis before the
game, allowed three runs on six hits in five innings, striking out two and
walking one.
Ryne Stanek (2-2) took the loss, allowing both batters he faced to reach before
exiting the game when he rolled his ankle after getting tangled with Ortiz in
an awkward play at first in the seventh, setting up Yelich's double.
The Cardinals have lost three straight games.
Up next
Brewers LHP Robert Gasser (1-3, 4.54 ERA) starts Tuesday's nightcap against
Cardinals RHP Hunter Dobbins (1-0, 3.63), who was appointed as the Cardinals'
27th man for the doubleheader.
