Christian Yelich homered and Trevor Megill escaped a jam in the ninth inning, sending the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday in the finale of a four-game series.

The Milwaukee Brewers put a little bit of distance between themselves and the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central Division standings with their 3-2 win on Sunday afternoon.

A collision at first base led to a spat between the Cardinals vet and a Brewers player — and a fiery postgame rant.

MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) The Brewers held off a late Cardinals scoring chance for a 3-2 win on Sunday. Nolan Arenado singled on the 12th pitch of his lead-off at-bat. Nolan Gorman followed with a bunt single. Both runners moved up to second and third on a wild pitch, but Trevor Megill escaped by striking out the final two batters of the game.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Nolan Gorman hit a three-run homer, Willson Contreras added a solo shot in the ninth inning and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-5 on Saturday to snap a six-game losing streak.

Since that roughing-up at the hands of Chicago, one that raised questions of if Milwaukee would demote him and just what, exactly, it was doing giving up a valuable prospect and high draft pick for him, Priester has pitched to a 2.23 earned run average and 0.970 WHIP, 5.6% walk rate and 60% ground-ball percentage.

Masyn Winn led off the game with a two-strike single to center and, after Ivan Herrera followed with a walk, he scored on Alec Burleson's seeing-eye single up the middle. The Brewers defense helped quell the rally, with Jackson Chourio throwing out Herrera at third on the play, and Quintana escaped without further damage.
