Vaughn’s 3-Run Homer, Chourio’s Hot Return Lift Brewers Past Cardinals 6-2

The healthy bats point to a shift back to power in Milwaukee’s lineup.

Overview

  • Milwaukee beat St. Louis 6-2 at Busch Stadium, with the four-run first inning Wednesday capped by Andrew Vaughn’s 403-foot, three-run shot off Andre Pallante.
  • Jackson Chourio’s second game back featured six total hits across two days and a 108.7 mph RBI double in the ninth, signaling top-end bat speed per Statcast tracking.
  • Five Brewers pitchers limited the Cardinals to four hits as Aaron Ashby earned the win and DL Hall logged a clean inning in relief.
  • Rookie Brandon Sproat delivered four scoreless innings with one hit allowed but three walks, and his hit-by-pitch led to Nathan Church leaving with a left leg contusion.
  • With Vaughn and Chourio back, multi-hit games from both plus Sal Frelick and Jake Bauers hinted at a deeper order for a club that had leaned on small-ball and entered with just 24 home runs.
