The Cardinals weren’t able to follow up on their mantra of winning every series as they try to remain relevant in a potential postseason picture. But, down 4-1 in the fifth inning to Milwaukee and one of its many All-Star pitchers, Brandon Woodruff, on Thursday night, they seemed headed for a crippling sweep at Busch Stadium that would have left them 13 games out of first place.
But reserve catcher Andrew Knizner, hitting .175, singled to center. Pinch hitter Jose Rondon and Tommy Edman both were retired but Paul Goldschmidt singled for his second hit and Nolan Arenado singled for his second hit and second run batted in.
