ST. LOUIS — The bruising liner that caromed off Justin Williams near third base and cost the Cardinals a tying run was not the first or last confounding bounce Saturday, but it was as close as they got to catching the Brewers.
The score got tight briefly, then ugly from there.
Immediately after an umpire ruled that Williams got in the way of Tommy Edman’s single and was out instead of headed home, Milwaukee seized on the Cardinals’ bullpen for a five-run seventh on the way to a 9-5 grating at Busch Stadium. A crowd of 13,304 were present for a couple of calls that needed to be reviewed to be believed, and even then were curious.
