    Sweep not in the Cards
    Big eighth seals win
    By Matthew Leach / MLB.com
    Albert Pujols struck with a homer in the first, and a two-run double by Ryan Ludwick gave the Cards the lead for good. But a tenuous lead turned into a certain victory after St. Louis pushed four more runs across in the eighth, polishing off the game and salvaging a win for the Cards in Milwaukee.

    Series at a glance:
    Crews' bats run cold
    By Adam McCalvy / MLB.com
    Ryan Braun knocked in the tying and go-ahead runs in the first and second innings, but no runner reached base between the fourth and ninth innings. A big eighth for the Cards ended hope of a comeback as the Brewers dropped the finale and were unable to pick up a game on the division-leading Cubs.
