Cardinals 3, Brewers 1 (10 innings)
MILWAUKEE -- Jayson Heyward had three hits, including a two-run home run in the 10th inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1 Tuesday night at Miller Park.
Heyward already doubled twice, walked and reached on a fielder's choice when he came up in the 10th against Brewers right-hander Tyler Thornburg, who got off to a bad start in the inning when Matt Carpenter reached on an error by first baseman Adam Lind.
Left fielder Stephen Piscotty grounded into a force at second to bring up Heyward. Thornburg (0-2) quickly fell into a 3-0 hole, and on a 3-1 count, fired a fastball that Heyward sent to right for his 12th home run of the season.
Right-hander Carlos Martinez was locked in for the Cardinals, holding Milwaukee to a run on four hits and two walks while striking out nine over eight innings.
The only blemish on his line was a solo home run by left fielder Khris Davis in the fifth, but St. Louis got the run back an inning later when Heyward picked up his second double, then scored on a base hit by shortstop Jhonny Peralta.
Milwaukee threatened in the sixth, loading the bases with one out before Lind lined into a double play at first, then again in the ninth, when right fielder Ryan Braun drew a one-out walk off left-hander Kevin Siegrist (7-1) but was left stranded.
Right-hander Trevor Rosenthal worked around a two-out single by Logan Schafer in the bottom of the 10th to earn his 44th save of the year.
Brewers rookie right-hander Ariel Pena went five-plus innings and gave up just the one run on four hits and three walks while striking out five in his second career major league start.
