ST. LOUIS, MO (WSAU) — Eric Thames set the tone, and the Milwaukee Brewers trudged through two rain delays and a furious rally to hold on to a 7-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Thames kicked off scoring with a two-run home run in the first inning. RBIs from Eric Sogard, Thames, and Travis Shaw in the second had the Brewers up 6-0, but the Cardinals would strike back.
Pitcher Matt Garza would let four runs slip by in the bottom of the second. He took his start five innings and kept the Cardinals quiet for the rest of his time on the mound. Corey Knebel got his tenth save of the year for the Brewers.
The Brewers will, at worst, split the series with the Cards this time around. Coverage of game four picks up at 5:40 p.m. Thursday night on the Brewers Radio Network.
