Consecutive singles by Kolten Wong, Tommy Edman and Paul Goldschmidt created the first scoring of the game in the third inning as the Cardinals took a 1-0 lead over Milwaukee in the first of five pivotal games between the two clubs this weekend at Busch Stadium. But the Cardinals, who were peppering Milwaukee starter Corbin Burnes, were leaving a lot of money on the table, stranding five runners through three.
After Goldshmidt knocked in only his 20th run of the season, Matt Carpenter lined to deep where Tyrone Taylor snagged the ball before he banged into the wall.
