Gallardo allowed 5-hits in 7 innings of work, out-dueling Chicago’s Ryan Dempster in the win.  Gallardo’s record is now even at 1-1.

Francisco Rodriguez struck out the side in the 8th and John Axford did the same in the 9th, earning his second save in the last three days.

Brewers open up against the Cardinals today

April 6, 2012 By

The Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals have become bitter rivals.  Tony LaRussa has a tendency to do that to teams.

Now that LaRussa has retired and Albert Pujols will be doing his damage in the American League, where does that leave the Brewers and Cardinals? 

The Brewers open their season against the Cardinals at Miller Park this afternoon (3:10 first pitch).  But just how hated are the Cardinals without the likes of LaRussa hanging around.  The new Cardinals manager is Mike Matheny.  Matheny spent some time in a Brewers uniform as a player.
