Albert Pujols hits home runs 46 and 47 and drove in three runs while Adam Wainwright pitched seven shutout innings allowing just five hits and a walk while striking out six. The Cardinals sweep the Brewers with a 5-1 win.
Wainwright is now 18-7 and his ERA is 2.59 as the Cardinals reduce their
magic number to 12.
The bad news, Matt Holliday left the game with a bruised knee. At least, that’s what they’re calling it. In the fifth inning he landed awkwardly on first base trying to beat out a grounder. He stayed in the game the next two innings, but came out in the 7 th when it was his turn to hit.
