Brewers Beat Cardinals 4-0: Cardinals Avoid No-Hitter, But Not Loss

Turnabout may be fair play, but it was no fun for the Cardinals on Saturday.

One day after Jaime Garcia flirted with history, Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo did the same. Gallardo took a no-hitter into the eighth inning and held on for a 4-0 victory over Kyle Lohse and the Cardinals. Lohse turned in a fine start of his own, but it wasn't enough on a day when Gallardo was superb.
A team craving runs as much as wins in the past week found that they didn't need much of the former to finally get the latter.
For the fifth time since April 23 and the second time in less than 24 hours, the Cardinals became party to a tease Saturday at Busch Stadium.
Another day, another tease.

The first two games played between the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers this season have flirted with pitching perfection.
