Cardinals give up 12 runs to Brewers, lose third straight game and drop series at home
Published in Baseball
Hall entered the day having three starts this season, and the Brewers had gone 2-1 in his starts. His previous start came against his former team, the Baltimore Orioles, last Saturday in Baltimore. He allowed five runs on eight hits, including three home runs, in 3 1/3 innings, but the Brewers won, 11-5.
Hall came to the Brewers as part of a trade that sent former Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes to the Orioles on Feb. 1.
Fireworks in the fourth
Mikolas gave up two more home runs in the fourth, including a two-run blast by Turang.
Turang’s second home run of the season came with Perkins aboard after a leadoff double. That tied the score 4-4, and the next batter, Chourio, swatted a go-ahead solo home run over the right field wall.
The Brewers’ three home runs in the first four innings gave them an NL-best 27 home runs this season.
Mikolas made it through the inning, but left-hander Thompson took over in relief with two outs in the fifth inning. Thompson, who filled Sonny Gray’s rotation spot to start the season, hadn’t appeared in a game in 10 days.
The Brewers led the rest of the game after they scored three in the fourth. They tacked on four more runs in the sixth inning.
