MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Garrett Mitchell hit a three-run homer and Kyle Harrison
tossed six innings of four-hit ball to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-0
victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.
Harrison (6-1) allowed two singles to open the third and two singles in the
sixth, but did not allow a runner past second. He struck out two and walked
none, lowering his ERA from 1.77 to 1.57. Harrison improved to 4-0 in five
starts in May, allowing three runs in 28 innings.
Grant Anderson, Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill followed with a scoreless inning
apiece.
Milwaukee has won 14 of its last 18 games and moved 3 games ahead of
second-place St. Louis in the NL Central.
Mitchell's blast capped a five-fun fifth that put Milwaukee up 6-0.
The Brewers loaded the bases with no outs when Christian Yelich led off with a
double, followed by walks to Jackson Chourio and Brice Turang. William
Contreras then extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a two-run double
that one-hopped the wall in center to put Milwaukee up 3-0, chasing starter
Michael McGreevy.
Ryan Fernandez, recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Memphis, relieved and struck out
Jake Bauers, but Mitchell then lined a 2-0 pitch 421 feet to center.
McGreevy (3-4) allowed five runs and seven hits in four-plus innings, striking
out six and walking three.
Bauers opened the fourth with his team-best eighth homer to put Milwaukee in
front 1-0.
Milwaukee entered with 35 homers as a team, fewest in the majors.
Up next
Dustin May (3-5, 5.00) starts for the Cardinals on Wednesday, while the Brewers
have not named a starter.
