After starter Jack Flaherty retired the visiting Brewers in order in the top of the first, Matt Carpenter led off the home half of the first with a walk and Paul Goldschmidt followed with an infield single.
The Cardinals have placed righthander Michael Wacha, who was to have started Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers, on the 10-day injured list.
Wacha, whose injury list time can be backdated to April 19, is suffering from left knee patellar tendinitis.
To replace him on the roster initially, infielder/outfielder Drew Robinson, who has been hot at Class AAA Memphis since being sent down again a week ago, was recalled for Monday night’s game against the Brewers.
