MILWAUKEE (AP) _ Zach Duke stranded the bases loaded with a strikeout in the
10th inning after Randal Grichuk hit an RBI single in the top half of the
inning, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals over the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 on
Tuesday night.
Seung Hwan Oh (4-2) pitched out of a jam in the ninth to get the win. Duke got
his first save with the Cardinals by striking out pinch-hitter Manny Pina after
Matt Bowman walked three batters.
The Cardinals’ Jhonny Peralta led off the 10th with a single off Corey Knebel
(0-2) and moved to third on Yadier Molina’s ground-rule double. Jeremy
Hazelbaker, who pinch ran for Peralta, scored the winning run on Grichuk’s flare
to right.
St. Louis’ Adam Wainwright and Milwaukee’s Wily Peralta dueled for seven
innings, leaving a 1-1 game for the bullpens.
The Cardinals look for a sweep of the series in Milwaukee Wednesday night. Rookie
Luke Weaver (1-1) starts for St. Louis while Matt Garza (4-6) goes for the
Brewers. Game time is 7:10 with the pre-game at 6:15 on KTLO-AM.
