The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 6-2 in their series finale. Key performances came from players Chourio and Vaughn.
Who Stood Out in Brewers' Win Over Cardinals?
After having the second game of their series against the St. Louis Cardinals postponed due to inclement weather, the Milwaukee Brewers were able to take Wednesday’s matinee game with a 6-2 win to conclude the series.
The Brewers had a couple of standout performances, let’s explore them:
While the Milwaukee Brewers’ offense often endured struggles while waiting for outfielder Jackson Chourio and designated hitter Andrew Vaughn to return to the lineup after both suffered fractures in their left hands, there was an understanding that they would help immensely once returning.
So far, Chourio and Vaughn have not let the Brewers down.
After Chourio shined by going 4-for-4 in his season debut in Monday’s 6-3 loss to the Cardinals, he was able to turn in another productive performance in which he went 2-for-5 with an RBI.
Vaughn also returned on Monday, but he went 0-for-4 at the plate. However, Wednesday was his time to shine.
In the top of the first inning, Vaughn belted a three-run home run to left center field to make it a 4-0 game. In the top of the eighth inning, he singled sharply to left field. He finished the day by going 2-for-4 with three RBIs and a run.
In the top of the ninth inning, Chourio added insurance with an RBI double to bring Sal Frelick across home plate.
During a season that has seen injuries and up-and-down performances challenge the Brewers’ pitching staff, reliever Aaron Ashby has remained a steadying presence.
After starting right-hander Brandon Sproat notched four innings while striking out five batters while allowing three walks and one hit, Ashby was the second of four relievers to take the mound for Milwaukee, and he did not disappoint.
The final score was 6-2 in favor of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Chourio and Vaughn had notable performances in the Brewers' victory.

After DL Hall provided a strikeout while allowing no hits, walks or runs in one inning of work, Ashby took the mound and added a strikeout over two innings pitched. Additionally, he did not allow an earned run or a hit, and his only blemish was a walk.
Ashby’s latest effort was awarded with another winning decision, and he is now 6-0 on the season. Over 17 games (one start), Ashby carries a 2.35 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP through 23 innings of work. He has also logged 35 strikeouts while allowing 17 hits, 14 walks and six earned runs.
