Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0

Garrett Mitchell doubled, walked twice and scored in his first big league game since April, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 on Thursday.

 

Corbin Burnes, Julio Teheran (3-5) and Ethan Small combined on a six-hitter for the NL Central champions. Burnes struck out four and walked one in four innings in his final postseason tuneup, throwing 39 of his 66 pitches for strikes.

 

Mitchell led off the third with a double off the wall in left on Dakota Hudson's first pitch of the inning. Christian Yelich then hit an RBI single for a 2-0 lead.

 

Hudson (6-3) was charged with three runs and seven hits in five-plus innings. He struck out three and walked three.

 

Yelich also doubled and scored on William Contreras' single in the first.

 

The Brewers added another run when Carlos Santana scampered home on Willy Adames' double-play grounder in the sixth.

 

The Cardinals loaded the bases with one out in the fourth, but Juniel Querecuto lined to shortstop and Burnes fanned Masyn Winn to reach 200 strikeouts for the third consecutive season.

 

After Burnes departed, Teheran pitched four innings. Small, making his fourth major league appearance, got three outs for his first career save.
