- 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.
