Cardinals at Brewers: Milwaukee Reached 100 and Kept Going
The celebration for win No. 100 did not slow Milwaukee down.
A day after reaching triple digits, the Brewers returned home and beat St. Louis 8-4. They are now 101-59, winners of three straight and 53-26 at American Family Field.
There has been nothing accidental about the run.
Milwaukee scores 5.14 runs per game, second in MLB, and leads the league with a .340 on-base percentage. What makes the offense unusual is how little it depends on home runs. The Brewers have hit only 152, 29th in baseball.
They have found other ways to keep innings moving.
St. Louis turns to Quinn Mathews for the second game. His 3.65 ERA is a better number than Dustin May’s 4.67, but the workloads are not comparable. Mathews has made eight starts and thrown 44.1 innings. May has worked 142.2 innings across 30 starts.
May’s 3.60 FIP is also more forgiving than his ERA, and he owns the better WHIP, strikeout rate and walk rate of the two.
Milwaukee has another advantage waiting behind him. Its bullpen ERA is 3.39, third in MLB. St. Louis is at 4.46.
The Cardinals have had trouble with this matchup all season. Milwaukee has won eight of 10 meetings and enters Saturday 24 games ahead of St. Louis in the NL Central standings.
The Brewers no longer need a milestone to give the weekend meaning.
They already reached 100.
Friday showed they were not planning to stop there.
