Cards erase four-run deficit but fall in extras

Shaw went 2-for-5 in his return to Milwaukee's lineup after sitting out Sunday's game with a bruised right hand from a hit by pitch the night before. After Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong's throwing error put the Brewers in business against Seung Hwan Oh in the 10th, Shaw cashed in by hitting a 1-2 slider a Statcast-projected 451 feet to right-center field for the Brewers' second-longest home run this season. Shaw also hit the longest, a 458-footer against the Cardinals' Carlos Martinez on April 20 at Miller Park.

"That last at-bat, I looked at Torres and said, 'This is a good guy for Shaw at the plate,'" said Davies, who knew Oh throws a heavy dose of sliders.
