Cardinals still need a win as Brewers stay alive with 3-0 victory

The Cardinals entered Saturday night's game with the Milwaukee Brewers at Busch Stadium in "win and you're in' mode. They will enter Sunday's game with the Brewers in the same mode.

Milwaukee right-hander Brandon Woodruff overpowered the Cardinals for eight innings, allowing just two singles, walking one and striking out 10 before turning the game over to closer Josh Hader. That left-hander closed out a 3-0 Brewers win that kept them alive at 29-30 in the National League playoff race and dropped the Cardinals to 29-28 and still needing a victory on Sunday to qualify.

The Cardinals' Adam Wainwright (5-3) matched zeroes with Woodruff (3-5) for three innings but fell victim to back-to-back homers by Ryan Braun and Daniel Vogelbach in the fourth inning.
