ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Joey Ortiz homered, Robert Gasser pitched a career-high 7
2/3 innings and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 10-2 Tuesday
night to complete a doubleheader sweep.
Jacob Misiorowski struck out 11 in the first game of the split doubleheader,
which was a makeup from May 5, and the Brewers won 4-3.
Milwaukee has won four straight games and seven in a row against St. Louis. The
Cardinals lost their fourth straight.

inning and scored on a Christian Yelich groundout.
Luis Lara, in his major league debut, got his first hit and RBI with a two-run
single that gave the Brewers a 3-0 lead in the fifth.
Milwaukee broke it open with seven runs against Cardinals reliever Jared
Shuster in the seventh. Ortiz started the outburst with a solo homer and Brice
Turang, Gary Snchez, Jackson Chourio and Pratt followed with RBI hits.
Cardinals starter Hunter Dobbins (1-1), who was appointed the team's 27th man
