Veteran catcher Yadier Molina went three-for-three with a pair of home runs to lead St. Louis to a 5-2 win at Milwaukee Tuesday night. The Cardinals have taken the first two games of the three-game series, knocking the Brewers six-and-a-half games out of first place. Yasmani Grandal hit his 21st homer for Milwaukee. Starter Adrian Houser was effective, but five Brewer relievers gave up five runs in the last four innings.
Jordan Lyles starts this afternoon’s game as Milwaukee tries to avoid the sweep. First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 PM, with Pregame coverage on 1240 AM WOMT beginning at 12:35 PM.
