ST. LOUIS (AP) - Frankie Montas pitched seven sparkling innings and Devin Williams escaped a jam in the ninth, helping the Milwaukee Brewers beat the reeling St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Montas (6-8) allowed one hit - Alec Burleson's single in the fourth - in his fourth start since he was acquired in a trade with Cincinnati. He struck out three and walked one.
William Contreras had three hits for the NL Central-leading Brewers, who earned their sixth straight win. Sal Frelick added two hits.
Matt Carpenter homered for St. Louis in its seventh loss in eight games. Erick Fedde (8-7) was charged with two runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings.
Carpenter's fourth homer of the season - a pinch-hit drive with Lars Nootbaar aboard in the eighth - got St. Louis within one.
The Cardinals loaded the bases with one out in the ninth, but Williams struck out Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Gorman - both swinging - for his fifth save.
