MILWAUKEE -- Randal Grichuk's three-run home run capped the Cardinals' six-run fifth inning in a 6-0 win over the Brewers at Miller Park on Friday night.
That outburst, at the expense of rookie right-hander Tyler Cravy, made a winner of starter Lance Lynn, who scattered six hits in six scoreless innings to lower his ERA after 21 starts to 2.76. When Carlos Villanueva worked the final three innings and was awarded his second save, the Cardinals finished their 12th shutout of the season and lowered their best-in-baseball staff ERA to 2.
