Milwaukee looked to win game three, after splitting the first two games against the pesky division rival St. Louis Cardinals. Eric Lauer took the mound for the Crew, while longtime Cardinal Adam Wainwright started for St. Louis. The Brewers had some success against Wainwright in their last matchup but simply couldn’t get the offense going enough to keep up with St. Louis high powered lineup.
The Cardinals struck fast and early, with a Paul Goldschmidt two-run home run in the top of the first that scored Carlson. Goldschmidt has had a fantastic season so far and is no doubt in the NL MVP discussion.
