Brewers 5, Cardinals 4 (11): Lyle Overbay drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the top of the 11th inning as visiting Milwaukee rallied past St. Louis to win for the ninth time in its last 11 contests.

After Pat Neshek and Kevin Siegrist (0-1) combined to throw three perfect innings to get into the 11th, Khris Davis led off the frame with a double. Overbay quickly fell behind 1-2 following a pair of sacrifice bunt attempts before he ripped a grounder up the middle past a diving Mark Ellis at second to allow the Brewers to move to 11-1 on the road.

Tyler Thornburg (3-0) struck out four over two innings and Francisco Rodriguez worked around a two-out single in the 11th to post his major league-best 13th save. Kyle Lohse, who matched a season high with nine strikeouts over six frames, added a two-run single and Carlos Gomez homered for Milwaukee while Yadier Molina hit a three-run blast and Allen Craig recorded an RBI triple for the Cardinals.

Molina, who entered Tuesday 9-for-16 with two homers all-time against Lohse, continued to haunt his former batterymate in the first when he drove a 1-1 sinker into the seats in left-center. The Brewers evened the score in the fourth off St. Louis starter Lance Lynn as Scooter Gennett reached on an infield hit and scored on Overbay’s single before Lohse lifted a soft two-out liner over shortstop Jhonny Peralta.

Gomez gave Milwaukee its first lead at 4-3 in the seventh with a solo shot, but Craig’s liner off reliever Will Smith sliced just enough to elude a diving Elian Herrera in right and plate the tying run. Jim Henderson, Thornburg and Rodriguez combined to toss four scoreless innings and send the Cardinals to their seventh loss in the last 10 contests.
