Perez Slugs Brewers to 13-4 Win
The performance of Salvador Perez proved critical in helping Milwaukee beat St. Louis, 13-4. The Brewers catcher went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and was hit by a pitch. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Merrill Kelly earned the win, while 36-year old left-handed pitcher James Paxton took the loss for St. Louis. The Cardinals, now 26-43, have lost 5 in a row.

Michael Busch, who is tied for 5th in the NL in triples with 3, took St. Louis hurler James Paxton deep in the bottom of the first. His 3-run home run put the Brewers on top, 3-1. In all, Busch had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 5.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Milwaukee skipper Troy S.
