The Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals faced off for the series finale of their three-game set on Thursday, and with Brandon Woodruff on the mound, it seemed like the Brewers had a strong chance to complete the road sweep at Busch Stadium. For the second straight outing, the Brewers gave Woodruff strong run support, but for the second straight outing, he failed to capitalize on it.
St. Louis got on the board first in the opening frame, with Tommy Edman doubling to lead off then coming around to score on a Nolan Arenado double. The scoring then ceased until the middle innings.
