Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong saved a run in the Milwaukee third inning Saturday night when he stopped Omar Narvaez’s single from going any deeper into center field than Wong already was and a Brewers runner had to stop at third base. But Wong couldn’t help Adam Wainwright much in the fourth inning unless he was playing on the other side of the Busch Stadium wall.
Ryan Braun homered into the Cardinals’ bullpen in right and Daniel Vogelbach, the next hitter, blasted a 420-foot shot to left center and the Brewers, trying to stay alive in the National League playoff chase, took a 2-0 lead over the Cardinals.
