The Milwaukee Brewers tied the game in the top of the ninth inning on a two run homerun from Jackson Chourio, but the celebration was quickly ended as Nolan Arenado hit a walk off solo homerun in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the St. Louis Cardinals the 6-5 win.
The Brewers fell into a hole early as the Cardinals jumped up to a 5-0 lead going into the top of the fifth inning. The Cardinals scored their first run on a RBI sacrifice fly by Pedro Pagés in the bottom of the second inning. The Cardinals would add two more in the third inning on a Lars Nootbaar run scoring ground-rule double and a Brendan Donovan RBI double to make it 3-0. In the bottom of the fourth, the Cardinals made it 5-0 following a Nootbaar RBI single and Willson Contreras single that Nootbaar was able to score on a throwing error by second basemen Brice Turang.
The Brewers cut the Cardinals lead to 5-2 in the top of fifth inning. It stated with a Caleb Durbin RBI double that scored Joey Ortiz. Unfortunately Durbin was caught in a rundown emptying the basepaths, which would cause to be an issue later Jackson Chourio would hit an RBI double following a Brice Turang walk to make the game 5-2.
William Contreras would score on a fielders choice by Joey Ortiz to cut the Cardinals lead to 5-3 and Jackson Chourio then tied it on a two-run homerun in the top of the ninth. Unfortunately Arenado’s homerun in the bottom of the ninth ended it.
