The Cardinals claimed their series over the Brewers following a 5-1 victory from St. Louis. Matthew Liberatore earned the win after giving up the lone run on five hits over five innings. Ivan Herrera blasted a two-run homer as St. Louis has won three of five.
Manager Oli Marmol came out of the dugout before the first pitch to remove third baseman Nolan Arenado to give him a send off in front of the home fans in what appears to be Arenado’s final season with the Cardinals.
