MILWAUKEE -- Sliding since the All-Star break, the Brewers may have found something to build upon: A rare home series win against the rival Cardinals.
Jesus Aguilar homered for the second straight day and Keon Broxton saved one run while driving in another, sending the Brewers to a 2-1 win on Thursday. By taking two of three games, the Brewers took a series from the Cardinals at Miller Park for the first time since 2012, snapping St. Louis run of 13 consecutive series victories here.
Brewers starter Matt Garza returned from an 11-day stint on the disabled list to pitch into the sixth inning, limiting the damage to one run on four hits, with two walks and four strikeouts.
