September 8, 2011 By

The St. Louis Cardinals are extreme longshots to overtake the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central, but they’re not going down without a

fight. 

Chris Carpenter tossed a 4-hit shutout as the Cardinals blanked the Brewers 2-0 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis yesterday. 

Rafael Furcal provided the offense for St. Louis with a solo home run.  The win, coupled with Atlanta’s loss to Philadelphia, pulled the Cardinals within 6 1/2 games of Braves for the wildcard lead in the National League.

Carpenter was 1-2 with a 5.68 ERA in three previous starts against the Brewers this season.

The benches emptied in the 9th after Carpenter struck out Nyjer Morgan and Morgan threw his tobacco in Carpenter’s direction.  Morgan was restrained by teammates and eventually ejected.  Carpenter then retired Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder to complete the shutout. 

Morgan said Carpenter yelled an expletive at him, which is what caused the problems in the 9th.

The Brewers return to Miller Park tonight to open a 4-game series against the Phillies.  Chris Narveson faces Cole Hammels in the pitching matchup.

Brewers win in 10 innings; likely lose Gomez for the Season

July 21, 2011 By

After squandering a 2-0 lead in the 8th inning, the Milwaukee Brewers fought back to notch a 5-2 win in 10-innings last night in Arizona over Diamondbacks.  Unfortunately, OF Carlos Gomez broke his collar-bone while making a diving catch in the 4th inning.

Manager Ron Roenicke said after the game that Gomez would be out of action for at least 2-months, longer if he needed surgery which likely will be the season.  Gomez has been platooning in center-field with Nyjer Morgan starting against left-handed starters.  Gomez was batting .276 in that role and was 2nd on the team in stolen bases with 15.  Roenicke on the situation:
