These two teams opened up the season in a four-game series where the Brewers went 3-1. <\/p>\n<p>The Brewers hold the top seed in the NL Central, while the Cardinals are just half of a game behind Milwaukee. Milwaukee comes into this <strong>game listed at -140 over St. Louis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>After getting swept in a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels, the Brewers bounced back against the Los Angeles Dodgers in their next series. <\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee stole the first two games against the Dodgers and then fell <em>7-1<\/em> to LA on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jhoulys45\">Jhoulys Chacin<\/a><\/strong> (2-2) gave up six runs and six hits in 2 1\/3 innings, struck out three and walked three. The right-hander\u2019s six earned runs ended a streak of allowing three or fewer over his previous 14 starts since Aug. 8 against San Diego.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019m either really good against these guys or really bad, Walks hurt me today and with their lineup you can\u2019t give them walks. I need to make better pitches and I didn&#8217;t do that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Brewers managed just three hits \u2013 a double by <strong>Travis Shaw<\/strong> and singles from Chacin and <strong>Yasmani Grandal<\/strong> \u2013 through the first seven innings. Grandal said of his former teammate,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Stripling had a great outing, He threw a lot of backdoor sliders especially to lefties and he\u2019s got four pitches that he throws well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Milwaukee\u2019s lone run came on pinch-hitter <strong>Eric Thames<\/strong>\u2019 sacrifice fly in the eighth. <\/p>\n<h2>Ozuna Hot for Cardinals<\/h2>\n<p>After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/mlb-2019-st-louis-cardinals-vs-los-angeles-dodgers-preview\/\">rattling off five-straight wins<\/a>, the Cardinals split a two-game series against the Cincinnati Reds. Sunday\u2019s <em>9-5<\/em> win over the Reds came in Mexico. For <strong>Marcell Ozuna<\/strong>, the atmosphere in the Estudio de Beisbol de Monterrey made it feel like a home game. Not in St. Louis, but back in the Dominican Republic. Ozuna hit two home runs and <strong>Matt Carpenter<\/strong> connected for a tiebreaking drive in the seventh inning that sent the Cardinals over the Reds.<\/p>\n<p>Chacin said <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I liked the crowd here it\u2019s like in my country, it\u2019s kind of the same the energy, It\u2019s my first game in Monterrey and it feels good, the passion and the feel for the game that they have<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ozuna has four home runs in his last five games along with eight RBI.<\/p>\n<p>Cardinals manager <strong>Mike Schildt<\/strong> said. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019m sure it was a comfortable feeling for him. I know it was for me, It\u2019s an atmosphere that all Latin players enjoy, I\u2019m sure I did<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It was 4-all when Carpenter opened the seventh with his second home run of the season, tagging <strong>Amir Garrett<\/strong> (1-1). Ozuna hit a solo homer off <strong>Jared Hughes<\/strong> and <strong>Jose Martinez<\/strong> capped the five-run inning with a two-run single that made it 9-4.<\/p>\n<p>Ozuna hit a three-run homer and O\u2019Neill added a solo drive as the Cardinals took a 4-0 lead in the first off <strong>Anthony DeSclafini<\/strong>. <strong>Yasiel Puig<\/strong> homered in the eighth to make it 9-5 and the Reds loaded the bases, but <strong>Jordan Hicks<\/strong> retired pinch-hitter Kyle Farmer on a grounder to escape. Hicks closed for his third save. <strong>John Gant<\/strong> (3-0) pitched one inning. <\/p>\n<h2>St. Louis Steals Road Win<\/h2>\n<p>This game determines who sits in first place in the National League Central.
