ST. LOUIS (AP) — Adam Wainwright pitched seven innings, Kolten Wong had a two-run triple and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-0 on Saturday. The Cardinals turned four double plays, including the fourth, fifth and sixth. Jonathan Broxton got three outs and Seung Hwan Oh, a longtime closer in Japan and Korea, finished the seven-hitter for his first career save.

St. Louis improved to 6-2 against Milwaukee and goes for a three-game series sweep on Sunday. Milwaukee is 13-25 on the road and has lost 27 of the last 40 against the Cardinals.
