Misiorowski fans 11, Yelich drives in 2 as Brewers beat Cardinals 4-3 in Game 1 of doubleheader
Christian Yelich drove in two runs and Jacob Misiorowski threw 11 strikeouts as Milwaukee won its third straight.
On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 in the first game of a doubleheader at Busch Stadium, led by starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski's 11 strikeouts over seven innings.
Early home runs from Jordan Walker and Iván Herrera gave St. Louis a 3-2 advantage through three innings, though Misiorowski allowed only three hits total and shut down the Cardinals thereafter.
Christian Yelich tied the game with an RBI single in the third inning, then broke a 3-all tie with an RBI double off JoJo Romero in the seventh to deliver the decisive blow.
Aaron Ashby pitched a scoreless eighth and Abner Uribe earned his sixth save, as the Brewers improved to 57-33 and maintained first place in the National League Central.
The doubleheader continues today as Brewers LHP Robert Gasser faces Cardinals RHP Hunter Dobbins, who was appointed as the 27th man for the nightcap.
