(LEARFIELD) For the first time in seven meetings between the two teams, the Milwaukee Brewers lost to the St. Louis Cardinals Wednesday night 5-1 in St. Louis.
St. Louis scored twice in the first inning and never trailed the rest of the way.
Kyle Harrison took the loss, giving up 3 runs on 4 hits over 4 innings.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Harrison is suffering from arm fatigue.
Murphy added more on Harrison.
Garrett Mitchell and Cooper Pratt had two hits each to lead a mostly quiet offense. Mitchell with the 2 hits boosted his batting average to .276. Pratt is now batting .238.
Other than those 2, Murphy said that the offense was pretty quiet.
Murphy also talked about being in the midst of an 18-game stretch over 17 days and whether or not the Brewers are in need of the All-Star break.
The NL Central rivals wrap up the unusual five-game series Thursday night with Logan Henderson starting for Milwaukee.
Henderson is 2-1 with a 2.74 ERA.
The Cardinals will send Andre Pallante to the hill. He is 10-5 with a 3.60 ERA.
Tonight’s game can be heard beginning with the pre-game show at 6:10 on 97.5 and 1360 WTAQ.
