Throughout the contest, the Cardinals managed to notch six hits but struggled significantly in translating these into runs, only crossing home plate three times. Despite a clean defensive game free of errors, St. Louis could not stymie Milwaukee's potent offense. A glance at their hitting performance reveals a tough day at bat for the Cardinals, culminating in a modest team batting average of .194 and an on-base percentage of .297.

Brendan Donovan was a bright spot for St. Louis with his stellar performance at bat which included an impressive batting average of .667 and an on-base percentage of .750 for this particular matchup. Pedro Pagés also made noteworthy contributions by scoring two runs himself, demonstrating his knack for getting on base and navigating it efficiently as reflected by his batting average and OBP both standing at .500.

The pitching department saw its share of struggles too; Neil Pallante had a challenging time as one of St. Louis' starting pitchers with an Earned Run Average soaring to 9.00 from this outing alone—a figure that notably impacts his season-long stats. Riley O'Brien also encountered difficulties despite showing promise through his strikeout rate; he concluded the game with an ERA ballooning to 54.00 after allowing multiple runs during his stint on the mound.

Milwaukee took advantage early in the game by scoring three initial runs which set them up well from the outset. Their hitters kept up relentless pressure throughout ensuring they tallied nine total runs against Cardinal pitchers who faced challenges across both starting roles and bullpen appearances.
