Cardinals starter Joe Kelly left in the middle of the fourth inning with left hamstring tightness after trying to beat out a bunt attempt in the top half. Kelly (1-1), who gave up an unearned run and three hits in four innings, did not know whether he would miss his next turn. Wily Peralta (2-0) allowed one run and six hits in 6 1-3 innings, helping the Brewers avoid a series sweep. Gomez walked, Jean Segura reached on an infield single, Lucroy followed with a two-run single and Aramis Ramirez had an RBI single. Milwaukee went ahead in the third inning when first baseman Matt Adams misplayed Logan Schafer's leadoff bouncer for an error, Peralta sacrificed, and Carlos Gomez hit an RBI double to the wall in right-center, one pitch after bunting foul. Will Smith, Tyler Thornburg and Francisco Rodriguez combined for 2 2-3 innings of scoreless relief.
