Shortstop Orlando Arcia rapped a run-scoring single in the seventh inning to give his Milwaukee Brewers a 3-2 win over St. Louis Wednesday afternoon. Arcia had just returned to the majors after being demoted for failing to hit enough. Manager Craig Counsell spoke about Arcia getting right back into things.
The Brewers left the bases loaded three times, stranded a dozen runners and went one-for-10 with runners in scoring position. The normally air-tight bullpen let the Cardinals take a 2-1 lead in the seventh. Christian Yelich tied the score in the bottom of that inning with a 441-foot home run to center on the first pitch he saw.
Arcia singled in Jesus Aguilar with the run which won the game. Jeffress gave up the lead but got the win, as Cory Knebel picked up the save.
Counsell Spoke about the decision to pull Hader, and throw Knebel into a bad situation.
The Brewers have placed infielder Tyler Saladino on the disabled list with a sprained ankle. Milwaukee has an off-day today, then Chase Anderson opens the team’s eight-game road trip by starting the Friday contest at Chicago against the White Sox.
