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.
