MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Held without a hit through seven innings, the Milwaukee
Brewers broke through in the eighth with three hits and two runs to beat the
St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 on Wednesday.
Dustin May carried a no-hitter into the eighth for the Cardinals, who have lost
seven of nine games. May was looking to become just the third pitcher in the
history of American Family Field, which opened in 2001, to pitch a no-hitter.
Garrett Mitchell led off the eighth with a double and Luis Rengifo followed
with a single, chasing May (3-6). After Sal Frelick grounded into a fielder's
choice and pinch-hitter Andrew Vaughn struck out looking, Christian Yelich
singled to drive in Mitchell to tie the score, with Frelick moving to third.
Frelick then scored when Masyn Winn booted Jackson Chourio's grounder.
The Cardinals got on the board in the fourth against Brewers starter Chad
Patrick when Jordan Walker led off with a single and later scored on Bryan
Torres' triple.
The Brewers, who hold the top spot in the NL Central, have won 15 of their last
19 games.
Patrick gave up five hits and one run in four innings while walking one and
striking out four.
Shane Drohan, Aaron Ashby and Trevor Megill combined for five scoreless innings.
Ashby (9-0) took over the major league lead in wins and Megill recorded his
sixth save in seven tries.
May, who came in with an ERA of 5.00, gave up two hits and two runs (one
earned) in seven innings. He struck out nine and didn't walk a batter in the
hard-luck 87-pitch outing.
