St. Louis exploded for six runs in the second inning on the way to a 12-2 blowout Monday night at Miller Park. Losing pitcher Gio Gonzalez gave up nine runs in five innings of work, and Ryan Braun saw his hitting streak come to an end. The defeat was the eighth in the last 13 games for the Brewers. Milwaukee will try to even the important series tonight (Tuesday) behind right-hander Adrian Houser — who beat the Cardinals his last time out. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 PM, with pregame coverage beginning at 6:05 on 1240 AM WOMT.
