Brewers fall to Cardinals 6-5 after blowing 5-0 lead

The Milwaukee Brewers avoided a series sweep by defeating the St. Louis Cardinals 7-1 on Sunday, snapping a four-game losing streak with strong performances from Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio. Brewers pitcher José Quintana remained unbeaten this season, striking out six and allowing just one run over five innings. The Cardinals had previously won two straight games, including a dramatic 6-5 walk-off victory on Saturday, when Nolan Arenado homered in the ninth after the Brewers had rallied to tie the game. Saturday's game saw the Brewers overcome an early five-run deficit, highlighted by Chourio's late homer, but ultimately fall short as their pitching struggled early. The Cardinals continue to benefit from consistent hitting by Brendan Donovan, who leads the National League in batting average. Both teams are set for matchups against new opponents to start the week.
