| Berkman Lifts Cardinals Over Brewers in 11 Innings |
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Lance Berkman singled in Matt Holliday with two out in the 11th inning and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-7 on Tuesday in a matchup of NL Central contenders that turned testy as the night wore on.
Sluggers Albert Pujols of the Cardinals and Ryan Braun each were hit by a pitch in the seventh, and Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina became so incensed after he was ejected in the 10th that plate umpire Rob Drake had to wipe his face during the argument.
St. Louis snapped Milwaukee's seven-game winning streak and trimmed the Brewers' NL Central lead to 2 1-2 games.
Marco Estrada (2-7) got the loss.
