Cardinals 8-4
[July 10, 2026]
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jake Bauers hit a three-run home run,
Brice Turang added his 13th homer of the season, and the Milwaukee
Brewers used a six-run third inning to rally past the St. Louis
Cardinals 8-4 on Thursday night to claim four of five games in the
series.
Milwaukee won four games in a series at St. Louis for the second time in
franchise history and the first time since 2008. The NL Central-leading
Brewers are 59-34 with one series to go before the All-Star break. |

Turang opened the decisive third with an RBI single before
Bauers hit his 17th homer of the season into the seats in right,
giving Milwaukee a 6-0 lead it never surrendered. Bauers is tied
for the MLB lead with seven three-run homers.
Turang hit a solo shot to center in the seventh, extending the
lead to 7-4.
Sal Frelick and Cooper Pratt each had RBI singles in the second
inning to give the Brewers an early 2-0 lead, and William
Contreras capped the scoring with a sacrifice fly that scored
Jackson Chourio in the ninth.
Logan Henderson (3-1) threw 5 1/3 innings in his first start
since May 22 after landing on the 15-day injured list with a
lower back strain. He struck out four and allowed three runs on
three hits.
Lars Nootbaar had an RBI single for St. Louis in the fourth, and
Jordan Walker added a three-run homer in the bottom of the
sixth. Walker became the sixth Cardinals player to have 73 or
more RBIs before to the All-Star break since 1955.
Andre Pallante (10-6) allowed six runs on eight hits in five
innings for the Cardinals.
