In a tightly contested series, the St. Louis Cardinals secured two victories over the Milwaukee Brewers, winning 7-4 in both the 12th inning on September 4 and again on September 5. Michael Siani's two-run single in the 12th inning of the first game proved pivotal, allowing him to drive in the winning runs after a wild pitch advanced the runners. Paul Goldschmidt contributed significantly with three hits and three RBIs in the second game, including a solo homer that tied the game at crucial moments. The Brewers, despite having a strong bullpen performance, struggled offensively, recording high strikeout numbers and failing to capitalize on scoring opportunities. The victories moved the Cardinals closer to playoff contention, while the Brewers maintained a comfortable lead in the NL Central despite the losses. Both teams are now looking to adjust their strategies for the remainder of the series, with the Brewers focusing on improving their offensive efficiency.
