The bench for the St. Louis Cardinals came through today as the St. Louis Cardinals shut out the Milwaukee Brewers 6-0 this afternoon. Jose Martinez homered twice as he started in RF to give Stephen Piscotty the first game off, and Chad Huffman picked up a big pinch hit triple in the bottom of the fifth.
Three Cardinal hurlers combined for the shutout as Lance Lynn pitched the first five innings striking out eight. John Brebbia worked the sixth. Tyler Lyons pitched the last three innings to pick up the save.
St. Louis pulls into a tie for second place with the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central, as it is the fourth win in a row for the Cardinals.
Marco Gonzales will take the mound for the Cardinals in game 2. The starter for the Brewers is still to be determined.
