MILWAUKEE • Whatever happened later in the game to flip the Cardinals' lead and turn this short series back to the Brewers was overshadowed Wednesday afternoon by the sudden departure of Cardinals starter Alex Reyes.

Reyes, back after a 15-month absence to recover from elbow surgery, threw 73 pitches and completed four innings. During that fourth inning a meeting on the mound included the team's head trainer, and Reyes did not come out for the fifth inning. By the end of the game, a club official said there has not been any information from the dugout or trainers' room on why Reyes was removed.
