Cardinals Lose in Labor Day Matchup with Milwaukee

Milwaukee, Wi. (KFMO) - The St. Louis Cardinals lost the opening game of its three-game series with Milwaukee on Monday, 9-3.

The NL Central-leading Brewers put this one away early, taking a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st off of a 3-run home run by shortstop Willy Adames. The Cardinals got one of those runs back in the third off of a solo Pedro Pages home run to center field, but the Brewers then increased their lead with 2 runs in the 4th. 

That trend continued in the 5th and the 6th, as the Cardinals got back to within 2 at 5-3, only to see their work undone with a 4-run bottom of the 6th. The final three innings saw the Cardinals shut out, they eventually dropped this one 9-3.

Adrian Pallante took the loss for St. Louis, while Freddy Peralta was the winning pitcher for Milwaukee. The Cards are back to .500 at 69-69 and will look to even the series today against the Brewers. First pitch is at 6:40, pregame at 5:45, you can listen in on B104.3.
