Key Moments

The Cardinals' offense was ignited by Nolan Arenado, who delivered a crucial home run in the third inning. This set the tone for St. Louis as they accumulated an early lead. Brendan Donovan also contributed significantly with his consistent hitting, maintaining an impressive .400 average and driving in one run.

On the mound, Steven Matz displayed solid pitching for St. Louis with an ERA of 0.0 and a WHIP of 1.5 from his previous performance, which helped keep Milwaukee's hitters at bay during critical moments.
