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 ½ 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.

Dustin May (3-5, 5.00) starts for the Cardinals on Wednesday,
while the Brewers have not named a starter.
