Cardinals drop 4th straight, 8-2 to Brewers

Quinn Priester pitched 5 1/3 strong innings to win his 12th straight decision and Christian Yelich homered as the major league-leading Milwaukee Brewers snapped a three-game skid by beating the St. Louis Cardinals 8-2 on Friday night.

Priester (13-2) carried a shutout into the sixth inning. According to Sportradar, the last pitcher to win at least 12 consecutive decisions within a single season was Gerrit Cole, who won 16 straight with the Houston Astros in 2019.

The Cardinals dropped their fourth straight.

Sonny Gray (13-8, 4.45 ERA) starts for St. Louis and Jacob Misiorowski (5-2, 4.09) pitches for Milwaukee on Saturday night.
