ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Nolan Arenado homered off Trevor Megill in the ninth inning,
giving St. Louis a 6-5 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday after the
Cardinals wasted a five-run lead.
Ryan Helsley (1-0) entered with a 5-3 advantage but blew a save for the second
time in six chances. Isaac Collins singled leading off the ninth and Jackson
Chourio, who had four hits and three RBIs, followed with his sixth homer on a
first-pitch slider.
Arenado hit his third home run of the season in the bottom half on a 97.8 mph
fastball from Megill (0-2).
St. Louis won consecutive games for the first time since April 13-14.
Milwaukee has lost four in a row.
Cardinals starter Sonny Gray allowed three runs, seven hits and three walks in
six innings.
Brewers starter Quinn Priester gave up five runs, eight hits and three walks in
five innings.
St. Louis built its lead on Pedro Pags' sacrifice fly in the second, RBI
doubles by Lars Nootbaar and Brendan Donovan in the third and an RBI single by
Nootbar and run-scoring throwing error by second baseman Brice Turang in in the
fourth.
Caleb Durbin and Chourio had RBI doubles in the fifth and Joey Ortiz hit into a
run-scoring forceout in the sixth.
Key moment Cardinals center fielder Victor Scott II ran 65 feet to make a diving backhand catch to deny Jake Bauers in the fifth inning.
