MILWAUKEE — The opportunities the Cardinals missed to reshape the outcome of a weekend in Wisconsin were as costly as the ones the Brewers did just enough to capitalize on.
Christian Yelich had three hits and a solo home run to drive Milwaukee to a 6-1 victory on Easter at American Family Field. The Brewers had only two hits Sunday afternoon with a runner in scoring position, but each time they delivered a two-run double. Willy Adames had the first to give the Brewers an early lead, and he added a solo homer later. The Cardinals, meanwhile, left the bases loaded in the eighth, just as they had twice on Friday night. And they went one-for-12 with runners in scoring position.
Brewers starter Freddy Peralta allowed one run on four hits through six innings, and he struck out seven. Jake Woodford steadied himself in his second start of the season but allowed three runs – all of them driven in by Adames.
