UNDATED (AP) _ The Milwaukee Brewers have ended the St. Louis Cardinals’ six-game winning streak this afternoon, giving the Chicago Cubs a chance to cut into the Redbirds’ lead in the NL Central.

Keston Hiura homered and drove in two runs as the Brewers knocked off the Cards, 4-1 to avoid a three-game sweep. The Milwaukee second baseman hit a solo homer in the fourth and an RBI double in the eighth to help his team get within 5 ½ games of the division lead.

Jordan Lyles outdueled Jack Flaherty by holding the Cardinals to a run and six hits while striking out nine over 5 1/3 innings. Lyles blanked the Cards until Kolten Wong homered in the sixth. Flaherty was reached for two runs and five hits over six innings after allowing only one run over his previous five starts.

The Cubs will pull within two games of the Cardinals if Chicago beats the Mets in New York today.
