ST. LOUIS — Timing is everything.
Just ask Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell, whose team emerged from a brief funk offensively by using power and patience to fuel two big innings that led to an 8-5 win Tuesday night over the St. Louis Cardinals, giving them a split of a day-night doubleheader.
“Tonight was as good an offensive game as we’ve had all year,” he said. “It’s not the biggest numbers we’ve had, but we needed that game.”
Counsell and Milwaukee hope this win carries over to Wednesday night’s matchup with St. Louis at Busch Stadium.
