MILWAUKEE — Whatever happened Friday night, during the hullaballoo of Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina’s 300th start together, and the laser show of six homers and 15 runs was just as quickly history by Saturday evening.
As quickly as the Cardinals offense arrived Friday it went silent Saturday as Milwaukee right-hander Adrian Houser doused any semblance of momentum.
The other starter in a rotation chocked with All-Stars, Houser authored a three-hit shutout to drive the first-place Brewers to a 4-0 victory at American Family Field. Houser was flawless through five and dominant through all nine. He allowed a two-out single in the ninth on his 99th pitch, so he was also efficient in his first career shutout.
