MILWAUKEE – Maybe it's is psychic.

If you can believe it, Christian Yelich Again did it against the Cardinals, as he knew what was coming.

His three points in the fifth inning Tuesday paved the way for an eight-point lead over the Brewers in an 8-4 win at Miller Park, giving Yelich a six-game home run against the Cardinals this season and seven games. matched against St Louis in which he had a match that goes back to last year.

The Brewers won five of their first six against the Cardinals, thanks in large part to Yelich, who hit eight of his nine homer strikes at the expense of St. Louis. With less than three weeks left in the opening day, Yelich is already the first hitter in the history of the Brewers to match the Cardinals eight times in a single season.

He will have many chances of hitting more; the teams have 13 games to play in the schedule.

"It's almost like he's psychic," Cardinals coach Mike Shildt said after Yelich had recovered from two spot-free matches at Dodger Stadium to go three times with seven RBIs in a win. Brewers.

This led some to question whether Shildt suggested the possibility of stealing placards.

Not so, said Shildt Tuesday afternoon.

"That's not what I meant," Shildt said. "We are always aware. We have to be. This is the game we play today. I do not take anything away from Christian Yelich. The comment that he was psychic was about his awareness and awakening of what was going on, what he was going to do and what was going on, and that's all to his credit. "

For the record, the Brewers insist they do not steal signs. That's what Yelich and Lorenzo Cain said, who also competed to kick off a third round of five innings punctuated by a brace from the Brewers starter, Brandon Woodruff.

"We do not steal signs. I promise you, said Cain. "The guy is just good. Well flat. He is just a studious stud-out. "

"We did not have the signs," Yelich said. "But, I mean, no one really cares if I say we did not have them, but we did not do it – it's just about running when you have a pitch at hit, an error I do not take any offense at [the suggestion] or something like that. It's just the game of baseball. What are you going to do? "

We could not blame the cardinals if they were curious. Yelich has 14 home runs in 22 games against St. Louis since joining the Brewers, 12 of whom have played 16 games at Miller Park.

The 10 points produced by Yelich in the first two games of this three-game series are already the most successful of the Brewers in a series against the Cardinals. Casey McGehee held the previous mark with nine RBIs in a series against St. Louis in 2009.

Tuesday's damage was inflicted on Cardinals newcomer Ryan Helsley, who recently emerged from Triple A Memphis for his Major League debut. Armed with a fastball reaching 101.5 mph, Helsley named Yelich as his first batter with two runners and two outs. He suspended a 2-2 slider and Yelich placed it in the right bleachers.

Welcome to the big leagues.

"People say you could walk it to go to [Ryan] Braun, "said Shildt. "What are you going to say to a guy who comes in big leagues? "You are not good enough to play a good hitter." The guy put a swing on it. "

The Brewers make these decisions more difficult for the Cardinals by putting runners at the base. Of Yelich's four circuits over the last two days, three came in situations where a march would have charged the bases.

It's to the point that the cardinals are reconsidering. It may be time to give Yelich the treatment of Barry Bonds and begin ordering intentional walks.

"It's possible [Wednesday]"Said Shildt." Absolutely. This is possible. The definition of madness does the same thing over and over again. There is a dividing line between giving treatment to bonds and appreciating the fact that at some point you feel that it will end. We also want our guys to compete and perform. At this moment, against him, we are not always. "

More club records are at hand with Yelich's nine-run and 25 RBIs this season. The franchise record for home runs in March / April is 11 by Eric Thames in 2017. The record for points produced in March / April is 26 by Prince Fielder in 2011. After Tuesday, the Brewers will have 13 games to be disputed in April.

"[The Cardinals] have a very good staff there, a very good team overall, "said Cain. "I mean, this guy launched 100, and then threw [Yelich] a cursor. The guy is right on everything. I just want it to stay as secure as possible. "
