Brewers Beat Cardinals 3-2, Extend Streak

The Milwaukee Brewers continued their dominance over the St. Louis Cardinals, winning 3-2 and extending their winning streak to six games. Frankie Montas pitched seven strong innings, allowing just one hit while striking out three, leading to the Brewers improving to 7-1 against the Cardinals this season. Matt Carpenter's pinch-hit two-run homer in the eighth inning briefly revived hopes for St. Louis, but they ultimately failed to capitalize with the bases loaded in the ninth, marking their seventh loss in eight games. The Cardinals now sit 12 games behind the Brewers in the NL Central, facing a challenging season with potential leadership changes looming if they miss the playoffs again. This series highlights a significant shift in the balance of power between the two teams, with the Brewers on track for their second consecutive division title. As the Cardinals struggle to find their footing, the Brewers are poised to solidify their emerging dominance in the rivalry.
