Brewers rally past Cardinals 4-3 on a 4-run seventh inning

ST. LOUIS (AP) — David Hamilton and Brice Turang drove in two runs each during a four-run seventh inning and the Milwaukee Brewers rallied from a three-run deficit to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 on Monday night.
Garrett Mitchell opened the seventh with a single off reliever Justin Bruihl and Sal Frelick greeted Ryan Fernandez (1-2) with a ground-rule double.
Cooper Pratt was safe on Fernandez’s fielding error to load the bases and Hamilton followed with a two-run double. Ryne Stanek came in and surrendered a go-ahead two-run single to Turang.
Turang’s fielding error led to two unearned runs off Shane Drohan (4-2) in the third as St. Louis jumped in front.
During that seventh-inning rally, Hamilton was lifted for a pinch runner due to tightness in his left hamstring.
Nelson Velázquez had a leadoff double in the sixth and scored on a single by Masyn Winn for a 3-0 advantage. It was the only earned run allowed by Drohan on six hits in six innings.
Chad Patrick struck out two in two perfect innings and Trevor Megill gave up a leadoff single to Winn before finishing off his 14th save in 16 opportunities.
