Early hole against Brewers too big for Cardinals to climb out of in 7-1 loss


The right-hander’s struggles surfaced again in the fourth inning when the Brewers strung together four consecutive hits and pushed across two more runs to begin the frame before Fedde paused their momentum with a strikeout looking against Jackson Chourio. Baker, who fouled off a 90.4 mph sinker thrown down the middle of the strike zone and whiffed at a curveball in his first at-bat, also struck out looking in the fifth inning when he took a 1-2 sinker near the middle of the strike zone. After Thomas Saggese fell into an 0-2 count on a foul ball and a whiff on a sinker in the second inning, Quintana notched a strikeout by dotting a 1-2 sinker on the low outside corner.
