Red-hot Brewers shut down Cardinals 6-0

Garrett Mitchell hit a three-run homer and Kyle Harrison tossed six innings of four-hit ball to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.

Harrison (6-1) allowed two singles to open the third and two singles in the sixth, but did not allow a runner past second. He struck out two and walked none, lowering his ERA from 1.77 to 1.57.

Milwaukee has won 14 of its last 18 games and moved 3 ½ games ahead of second-place St. Louis in the NL Central.

Milwaukee entered with 35 homers as a team, fewest in the majors.

Dustin May (3-5, 5.00) starts for the Cardinals on Wednesday, while the Brewers have not named a starter.
