Four runs against Adam Wainwright proved to be just enough for the Brewers pitching staff as the Crew defeated the Cardinals 4-3 in Thursday night’s series opener.
The Brewers wasted no time getting on the board in the first inning. Luis Urias took Wainwright deep on the second at-bat of the game to open the scoring.
Back-to-back two-out singles by Andrew McCutchen and Rowdy Tellez brought Tyrone Taylor to the plate with runners on the corners. He punched a ground ball up the middle to score McCutchen and make it a 2-0 game.
