Thats it. Make them make plays.The Cardinals maintained a slim lead over Pittsburgh for the second NL wild card.It was Villars 25th error and his eighth since moving from shortstop to third base to accommodate rookie shortstop Orlando Arcia.He just made a bad throw, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. We talked about that situation out there and the possibility for a double play. He just rushed it a little bit probably. The big out was to get the out at third.

He struck out eight of the first 11 batters and didnt allow a hit to the outfield until the sixth.I really tried working hard on my breaking ball and thats what I tried to stay focused on, Martinez said through a translator. I didnt do anything different. I know that the balls can go far (in Miller Park), and I know that theyre looking for a four-seamer, so I just try to switch it up and confuse them.Arcia began the four-run seventh with a homer off Matt Bowman. Villar had an RBI double, and then Milwaukee went ahead on an RBI infield single by Scooter Gennett. The Brewers sent 10 batters to the plate against three relievers during the inning.However, Milwaukee squandered a chance to extend its lead. After Kevin Siegrist walked Hernan Perez to walk in a run, Socolovich came on to strike out Chris Carter and get Kirk Nieuwenhuis to pop out to shortstop.It was a mistake-filled loss for the Brewers. A botched rundown led to St. Louis first run and the winning run scored on what should have been an inning-changing double play.Milwaukee also set a franchise record for most strikeouts in a nine-inning game with 19.Were playing these teams fighting for playoff spots, Counsell said. We just didnt do quite enough right.
