Urias homers but Brewers fall to Cardinals

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Dylan Carlson homered twice, once from each side of the plate, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3.

Carlson’s homers made a winner out of J.A. Happ, who entered the game 0-3 in his last five starts against the Brewers. Happ gave up 3 runs and struck out 9 in 6 1/3 innings to improve his record to 10-8. It was his longest outing since St. Louis acquired him from the Minnesota Twins on July 30.

Batting from the left side, Carlson ambushed a 93-mph pitch from Milwaukee reliever Miguel Sánchez for a two-run homer to give the Cardinals a 4-3 lead in the sixth. Sánchez took the loss.

Luis Urias homered for Milwaukee, while Keston Hiura drove in a run in his first game after being recalled from Triple-A.

The Brewers lost 2 of 3 from the Cardinals in the series. They will now head to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers in the final series of the regular season.
