Crew’s bats silenced by Wainwright

Casey McGehee snapped his bat over his knee after a fifth-inning strikeout, and that said it all for the Brewers on a frustrating homestand.

Adam Wainwright was the latest opposing ace to shut down Milwaukee’s offense, tossing seven scoreless innings in the Cardinals’ 5-1 win over the Brewers at Miller Park on Wednesday. Albert Pujols hit a pair of home runs and drove in three to cap a three-game St. Louis sweep.

The Brewers finished their homestand with a 1-5 record and McGehee wasn’t Milwaukee’s only hitter feeling frustrated after the team scored 10 total runs over those six games. Chris Carpenter twirled a one-hit shutout on Monday, and Wainwright (18-7) was nearly as good, scattering five hits with six strikeouts and only one walk.
