Brewers hitless for 7 innings, then rally to beat Cardinals 2-1

Held without a hit through seven innings, the Milwaukee Brewers broke through in the eighth with three hits and two runs to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 on Wednesday.

Dustin May carried a no-hitter into the eighth for the Cardinals, who have lost seven of nine games. 

The Cardinals got on the board in the fourth against Brewers starter Chad Patrick when Jordan Walker led off with a single and later scored on Bryan Torres’ triple.

The Brewers, who hold the top spot in the NL Central, have won 15 of their last 19 games.

Shane Drohan, Aaron Ashby and Trevor Megill combined for five scoreless innings.

Ashby (9-0) took over the major league lead in wins and Megill recorded his sixth save in seven tries.
