ST. LOUIS (AP) – Aaron Wilkerson took a perfect game into the sixth inning,
Brett Phillips hit a three-run homer and the Milwaukee Brewers closed out their
near-miss of a season with a 6-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Jesus
Aguliar added a two-run homer in the eighth for the Brewers, who finished 86-76,
13 games ahead of last year’s pace. They were in first place or tied for the top
spot in the NL Central for 65 days, but ultimately they were eliminated from
wild-card contention with a loss on Saturday to the Cardinals.
