Montas Pitches a Gem, Brewers Top Cardinals 3-2
Stellar Inning from Montas
In a matchup against his former team, Frankie Montas turned in his most dominant performance as a Brewer. The right-hander hurled seven shutout innings, allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out five Cardinals batters. Montas' outing was reminiscent of the caliber of pitching that landed him an All-Star nod in 2021 with the Oakland Athletics.
Offensive Fireworks
The Brewers bullpen faltered in the ninth inning, but Devin Williams managed to lock down the save with two runners aboard. Willy Adames hit a solo home run for Milwaukee, while rookie Sal Frelick chipped in with his first career RBI double.
Cardinals' Woes Continue
The Cardinals have now lost seven consecutive games, their longest skid since 2019. The frustrations boiled over in the eighth inning when manager Oliver Marmol was ejected for arguing a strike call.
