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.
