Cardinals break 6-game skid, pound Brewers
June 14 - Nolan Gorman had a three-run homer and Willson Contreras added a solo shot as the visiting St. Louis Cardinals snapped a six-game losing streak with an 8-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday.
Gorman's homer put the Cardinals up 7-1 in the fifth. Willson Contreras was hit by a pitch with one out and Nolan Arenado walked. Gorman then sent an 0-1 sinker from starter Jose Quintana (4-2) 433 feet to center for his fourth homer.
The Brewers answered with three in the bottom half off starter Andre Pallante. Brice Turang singled and moved to second on a wild pitch, then Caleb Durbin walked and both advanced on a sacrifice bunt. Sal Frelick followed with a two-run double down the left field line and Jackson Chourio delivered an RBI single to chase Pallante.
Milwaukee loaded the bases with one out in the eighth on a single, hit batter and walk, but Phil Maton fanned Frelick and Chourio.
Willson Contreras made it 8-4 with his ninth homer with one out in the ninth. His brother, William Contreras, answered with his sixth homer to open the bottom half off Ryan Helsley to make it 8-5.
Kyle Leahy (2-1) got the win with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief.
St. Louis scored three in the fourth, including two unearned runs, to go up 4-0.
Arenado singled to open and Gorman walked. Jordan Walker, activated earlier Saturday off the injured list, bounced to third, but Durbin threw wildly to second on a potential double play. Arenado scored, Gorman took third and Walker advanced to second. Victor Scott II followed with a two-run single to left-center.
The Brewers got one back in the bottom half when Chourio tripled to open and scored on a passed ball.
The Cardinals took a 1-0 lead in the first, but also squandered a scoring opportunity. Masyn Winn singled to open and Ivan Herrera walked. Alec Burleson followed with an RBI single, but center fielder Chourio threw out Herrera at third on a call overturned on replay.
Both starters lasted 4 1/3 innings, with Quintana yielding seven runs (five earned) on eight hits and three walks with four strikeouts. Pallante gave up four runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out seven.

Controversial FIFA Club World Cup begins - with newly knighted David Beckham joining fans at Hard Rock stadium
The new-look FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) has begun, kicking off with a goalless game between Lionel Messi's Inter Miami and Al Ahly. While many would have expected the Argentine legend to be named "man of the match", it was Miami's goalkeeper that took home the accolade - Oscar Ustari made eight saves, including one from the penalty spot. Messi almost won the match late on with a long-range effort, only for Al Ahly keeper Mohamed El Shenawy to turn his effort on to the bar. Also in attendance was the newly knighted David Beckham - or Sir David as he will soon be known. Before its revamp for the 2025 tournament, the Club World Cup took place every winter and was contested by the winners of continental club competitions around the world. It will now take place every four years. FIFA has faced criticism around the 32-team tournament, with some players raising concerns about the relentless fixture schedule. Europe has 12 clubs in the tournament, including Premier League clubs Chelsea and Manchester City. Their spaces were allocated based on performances in the Champions League over four seasons. Chelsea and City have already played 57 matches this season - now up to seven more have been added. It is why - in plans first revealed by Sky News in 2023 - global players' union FIFPRO has launched a legal challenge claiming FIFA has abused a dominant position to risk the health of players. A backdrop of unrest in America The CWC begins against the backdrop of immigration raids and violent protests in Los Angeles with concerns fans could be targeted or denied entry to FIFA events. It also the first time a major game has returned to the Hard Rock stadium in 11 months. The last match, the Copa America final saw ticketless fans breaching security gates and jumping over railings to enter the stadium, delaying kick off for 80 minutes.
