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.

Crews' bats run cold
By Adam McCalvy / MLB.com
