The Brewers hit eight homers and scored 13 of their 14 points on them. The only race not to score on a long ball came Friday night on a sacrificial fly Yasmani Grandal.

"It's kind of what we've been doing here for two years," Yelich said. "Whenever you can hit the ball out of the stadium, it's a good thing.

"I'm sure we can make some if we have to, you do not want to totally rely on the home run ball, but you're not sorry if you get them."

Yelich gave the Brewers a quick two-hit lead against Dakota Hudson when he fell and took a thigh at 94 mph in the opposite direction and above the wall in the center left.

Yelich is the third player in as many games, a franchise for the first time at the start of the season. He is also the first defending player to qualify for each of his team's first three games.

The Cardinals made their way back to third when Kolten Wong was chosen to take the lead. Woodruff was relegated to second place, beaten third by Hudson and scored on another Paul Goldschmidt single.

Milwaukee wasted no time in coming back in the lead when, with just one of two goals, Shaw shot the moon to center, which raised the score to 2-1.

Yasmani Grandal then reached when Goldschmidt could not catch up on Wong's routine run to first base, and Moustakas paid the misunderstanding when he brought the Brewers' center back to center left to take the score to 4-5. 1.

An RBI double by Wong in the fourth quarter resulted in St. Louis at 4-2. Woodruff returned two more bags in the fifth, but he prevented him from hurting him by hitting the side.

Woodruff left after allowing six hits, two earned runs and a walk with five strikeouts. Woodruff's outing on 100 throws was the first of a Milwaukee pitcher since Jhoulys Chacín pitched 102 on August 31 in Washington.

Junior Guerra, Alex Claudio and Alex Wilson allied themselves to throw three scoreless innings to lead the match to ninth, and then Hader outshot the Cardinals on nine shots for his second save.

Only the leader, Tyler O'Neill, came into contact with Hader, blocking the first pitch he saw. Hader became the first Pitcher pitcher to launch a clean round since Mike Fiers eliminated Kiké Hernández, Carlos Frias and Joc Peterson of the Dodgers on May 7, 2015.

"It's not something you can just do and do every day," said Hader. "It's a difficult thing, of course, obviously everyone is trying to do it, that's the goal – throwing strikes every time, of course, that does not happen.

"Being able to do that, Yas and I were on a good pace, so we continued to attack."

Manager Craig Counsell added, "It's such a good round you can have, you can not have a better run, I guess that's what I'd say." He has seven outs on taken (out of nine batters), did not throw another brittle ball yet: thirty field, three innings.

"It's pretty amazing."

FIVE ATTACKS

PITCHERS WHO RAKE: Apparently, the spring meeting reaffirmed the importance of the offensive for Milwaukee pitchers. Woodruff became the second thrower of the Brewers in three days to record a two-shot match with singles in the second and fourth innings. Chacín rolled the train by picking and going round-trip on opening day, which means Milwaukee pitchers have a 4-for-5 lead on the plate coming in on Sunday.

QUITE AN INTRODUCTION: Wilson was the last member of the Brewers' office to see the action and he made a good first impression. Facing Goldschmidt with a runner in second position and two outs in seventh position, he fanned the slugger with a fast ball up and early. He then threw an eighth of 1-2-3 to prepare the stage for Hader.

"I have to attack," Wilson told Goldschmidt, whose three home runs beat the Brewers on Friday night. "He has never seen me, I have never seen him, so it 's one of those things where I think I have the benefit. has no idea what I am going to throw at it.As long as I attack the area right there, I have all the advantage. "

IN THE BOOKS: Yelich has now conceded four consecutive goals against the Cardinals since last season, making him the first brewer to do so and the first overall since Bryan LaHair's Cubs won in 2012. Yelich's 12 career circuits against St Louis are his best against. no matter which opponent.

THIS IS LONG: The eighth round of Yelich against Andrew Miller on Friday night was rare. This is rare? Miller gave up just one more shot against a left-handed hitter – a brace – in 34 innings of the end of the month, in 2018. Cody Bellinger was the last left-handed batter to take Miller's depth on June 13, 2017..

"He has been stuck since the first day of spring training and has beaten the bat well over the past two days," said Counsell to Yelich. "What he did last night against (Miller) is not very common, he's in the same place he finished the season, which is what we've seen in the last six weeks, really."

TWO OF ONE KIND: Ben Gamel made his debut with the Brewers on Friday. His brother, Mat, played for the team from 2008 to 2012, making Gamels the second group of brothers to play for the franchise. Field player Steve Kiefer (1986-88) and pitcher Mark Kiefer (1993-96) formed the first pair of brothers.
