In a no-decision, Milwaukee starter Jimmy Nelson didn't allow a run until Jason Heyward's RBI single in the sixth. Nelson was one out shy of getting through the seventh with a 3-1 lead intact when Cardinals leadoff man Matt Carpenter hit a slider to the second deck of Miller Park's right-field bleachers for a short-lived St. Louis lead.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Carpenter crush: With two runners in scoring position, two outs and the Brewers nursing a two-run lead, Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell paid a visit to Nelson on the mound as Carpenter prepared to step into the box.
