ST. LOUIS (AP) — William Contreras drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and finished with two RBIs as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 on Friday night.
“He earned his money tonight,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said of Contreras. “He’s going to earn a lot more, I promise you.”
Contreras hit a two-out single off Ryan Helsley (1-2) in the 10th inning that scored automatic runner Blake Perkins, breaking a 1-all tie. Hoby Milner shut down the middle of the Cardinals’ order in the bottom of the 10th to earn his first career save in 242 appearances.
“I’m thankful to be where I’m at and the opportunity to get the opportunity today to get that save,” Milner said. “And I’m just glad that we won the game.”
Milwaukee won its second straight game. St. Louis lost for the fourth time in six games and has failed to score more than three runs in a game during that span.
