Brewers rally past Cardinals 4-3 on a 4-run seventh inning

Milwaukee’s bullpen and timely hitting turned the game as the Brewers rallied past the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 on Monday night, fueled by a four-run seventh inning. David Hamilton and Brice Turang drove in two runs each during that rally after St. Louis had jumped ahead with two unearned runs in the third inning. The Brewers started the seventh with Garrett Mitchell reaching on a single off reliever Justin Bruihl, and Sal Frelick added a ground-rule double. Cooper Pratt was safe on a fielding error that loaded the bases, and Hamilton followed with a two-run double.

Ryne Stanek relieved and surrendered a go-ahead two-run single to Turang, while Turang’s later fielding error contributed to the unearned runs coming home. Hamilton was replaced by a pinch runner after tightness in his left hamstring. Earlier, Milwaukee’s Nelson Velázquez scored on a single by Masyn Winn as the Brewers built a 3-0 sixth-inning advantage. St. Louis starter Dustin May threw 81 pitches over 4 2/3 innings, allowing four hits and striking out seven before exiting with runners on the corners. Trevor Megill finished with his 14th save in 16 opportunities, and Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski (9-4, 1.47 ERA) was set to start Tuesday’s first game of a day-night doubleheader.
