MILWAUKEE (AP) — Tommy Pham homered twice and tripled to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night. Pham’s home runs came in the second and the fourth off Milwaukee starter Wily Peralta. It was the rookie’s third and fourth home runs of the season and first multi-homer effort in 43 career games.

Milwaukee Brewers right fielder Ryan Braun had lower back tightness and was scratched from Wednesday night’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Braun is batting .291 and leads the team with 25 home runs and 84 RBIs. He went 1 for 2 with two walks in Tuesday night’s 3-1 loss to the Cardinals.
