MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) – The Brewers earned a split of their brief two game series with the St. Louis Cardinals with a 6-5 victory Wednesday afternoon.
The teams combined for five home runs in the game. Both Domingo Santana and Jonathon Villar homered for the Crew in the sixth inning. Santana with a solo shot and Villar with a two-run bomb.
Keon Broxton would save the game for Milwaukee in the ninth inning.
St. Louis outfielder Randal Grichuk thought he had hit his second home run of the game and won the game for the Cardinals.
That was before Broxton timed a jump perfectly and brought the ball back into the park.
Starter Chase Anderson turned in a quality start in his third start back from the disabled list.
He went six innings, allowed three Cardinal runs, and struck out six. Relievers Josh Hader and Anthony Swarzak each allowed a run out of the bullpen. Closer Corey Knebel finished things off, picking up save number 30.
Brewers begin a big weekend series with that Washington Nationals tonight.
Zach Davies will take the mound in game one of four and pregame coverage will begin at 6:35 on WTAQ.
