Stranded Runners Lead To Crew’s Loss

ST. LOUIS, MO- The Brewers left the bases cluttered with runners Wednesday night while losing a historic game in St. Louis 4-1.  History was made when Adam Wainwright of the Cardinals threw the first pitch of the game to catcher Yadier Molina.  That set a Major League Baseball record 325^th game for a pitcher-catcher duo.  Milwaukee jumped in front on a second-inning sacrifice fly by Tyrone Taylor but never scored again.  St. Louis got home runs from third baseman Nolan Arenado and outfielder Lars Nootbar, but it was the 39-year-old Molina who drove in the winner.  Corbin Burnes took the loss despite pitching a strong seven innings.  The Brewers are off Thursday, then start a weekend series against the Yankees Friday night.
