Garcia struggles, Cardinals fall to Brewers

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Ryan Braun hit a three-run homer and the Milwaukee Brewers
roughed up St. Louis rookie Jaime Garcia in an 8-1 win Wednesday night that
kept the slumping Cardinals from gaining ground in the postseason chase.
Albert Pujols hit his 36th homer in the first for the Cardinals, but that was
the only run Chris Capuano (3-3) allowed over seven innings.
Garcia (13-7) had been looking for his fourth straight win. Instead, he gave up
a career-high seven runs as his ERA rose to 2.69.
The Cardinals began the day six games behind Cincinnati in the NL Central. The
Reds played later at Colorado.
