Brewers lose to Cardinals, snapping Milwaukee's winning streak
Willy Adames #27 of the Milwaukee Brewers flips the ball to Brice Turang #2 of the Milwaukee Brewers to force out Nolan Arenado #28 of the St. Louis Cardinals at second base in the second inning at Busch Stadium on August 21, 2024 in St Louis, Missou
ST. LOUIS - Nolan Arenado hit a grand slam in the 10th inning to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 10-6 comeback victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night.
Arenado’s fifth career walk-off homer and sixth career grand slam gave the Cardinals their second win in their last eight games and snapped the Brewers’ six-game winning streak.
The Brewers led 6-4 after Joey Ortiz’s two-run double in the eighth inning.
But the Cardinals capitalized on Devin Williams' control issues as the Brewers’ closer suffered his first blown save of the season. Williams hit Willson Contreras to start the ninth and St. Louis tied the game at 6-all with bases loaded walks to Matt Carpenter and Tommy Pham.
