Brewers Come Undone
Prior to last night, the Milwaukee Brewers had beaten the St. Louis Cardinals in nine of the last ten meetings. That was about to happen again, then this took place....
Arenado’s fifth career walk-off homer and sixth career grand slam gave the Cardinals their second win in their last eight games and snapped the Brewers’ six-game winning streak.
“I was like, don’t have to do too much here,” Arenado said. “Just get it to the outfield. And I know he was going to come at me with some heaters.”
The Brewers led 6-4 after Joey Ortiz’s two-run double in the eighth inning.
But the Cardinals capitalized on Devin Williams’ control issues as the Brewers’ closer suffered his first blown save of the season. Williams hit Willson Contreras to start the ninth and St. Louis tied the game at 6-all with bases loaded walks to Matt Carpenter and Tommy Pham.
“This group is not going to give in,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said. “I love this group. They’re going to fight. They’re going to give it their best shot and they did exactly that tonight.”
The Brewers have another shot just after 2 pm EDT.
St. Louis Cardinals career statistics vs. Freddy Peralta are just .234.
Nolan Arenado has had success against Peralta with 10 Rbis and 4 home runs in 31 at bats. Masyn Winn is 4-for-7 against him.
