Cardinals' Late Push Falls Short as Brewers Hold Firm in Milwaukee

First Inning

The St. Louis Cardinals faced off against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field, with both teams eager to improve their standings. The Cards entered the game with a 37-35 record, while the Brew Crew stood at 39-34. The game concluded with a narrow victory for the Brewers, who managed to secure a 3-2 win over the Redbirds.

However, it was during this inning that Milwaukee took advantage of their chances and scored two crucial runs off three hits. This offensive burst gave them an edge that they maintained throughout most of the game.

Seventh Inning

As play continued into the seventh inning, each team added another run to their tally. The Cards' persistence paid off when they managed to score thanks in part to Iván Herrera's impressive batting average of .667 from previous games which helped keep pressure on Milwaukee's defense.
