Zach Davies tossed eight innings of 3-hit, shutout ball and struck out a career high nine hitters to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals at Miller Park.

Davies started the year 0-3.  Yesterday’s impressive performance evened his record at 3-3.  His ERA dropped from 8.78 after three starts to 4.53 after Wednesday’s wins.

Davies was so good that the Phillies didn’t move a runner past first base against him.  Along with his nine strikeouts, Davies didn’t walk a single batter.  He retired the last 14 batters he faced, striking out six of the last eight and three in a row in the eighth.

The Brewers scored a pair of runs in the first inning on run scoring hits from Ryan Braun and Chris Carter.  Martin Maldonado added a solo home run in the sixth inning.

The Cardinals didn’t score until the ninth when pinch-hitter Brandon Moss homered off of Brewers closer Jeremy Jeffress to bust up the shutout.  Jeffress still notched his 13th save.

The Brewers head to Philadelphia for the four-game series with the Phillies starting tonight.  Chase Anderson (2-6 5.00 ERA) gets the start for the Brewers in the series opener.
