ST. LOUIS (AP) --- William Contreras drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th
inning and finished with two RBIs as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis
Cardinals 2-1 on Friday night.
Contreras hit a two-out single off Ryan Helsley (1-2) in the 10th inning that
scored automatic runner Blake Perkins, breaking a 1-all tie. Hoby Milner shut
down the middle of the Cardinals' order in the bottom of the 10th to earn his
first save.
Milwaukee won its second straight game. St. Louis lost for the fourth time in
six games and has failed to score more than three runs in a game during that
span.
The Cardinals erased a 1-0 deficit with a two-out rally in the bottom of the
ninth. Masyn Winn walked and Alec Burleson hit a single that drove Milwaukee
reliver Trevor Megill from the game. Joel Payamps (1-1) hit Ivn Herrera with a
pitch to load the bases before Brendan Donovan drew a walk that tied the game
at 1.
Brewers starter Freddy Peralta pitched six scoreless innings, struck out seven,
walked two and allowed four hits.
Opposing batters are hitting .169 (14 for 83) against Peralta through his first
four starts this season. Only San Diego's Dylan Cease (.130) has a better mark
in the National League.
William Contreras gave the Brewers a 1-0 lead in the third with an RBI double
that scored Blake Perkins, who reached on a double. Contreras has hits in 13 of
his last 14 games.
Cardinals starter Kyle Gibson allowed one run on three hits in six innings. The
36-year-old right-hander has gone at least six innings in all four of his
starts this season
The Cardinals' Willson Contreras extended his hitting streak to a career-high
12 games with a single in the second inning. He tried to score from second
after Jordan Walker struck out swinging on a passed ball, but was thrown out by
his brother, William, on a throw to Peralta.
The Cardinals held a moment of silence and a video tribute before the game in
honor of former Hall of Fame manager Whitey Herzog, who died on Tuesday at 92.
