Cards Trump Stumbling Brew Crew

Posted Aug 17, 07 2:09 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – The Brewers’ new shaved heads didn’t stop St. Louis from defeating them 8-0 last night behind stellar performances by starter Adam Wainwright and catcher Yadier Molina. The normally light-hitting Molina belted two homers, while Wainwright gave up only two hits and notched a season-high eight strikeouts, AP reports.

The Cards are now just 2.5 back in the National League Central. Before the game, several Brewers shaved their heads to raise morale after a depressing 5-13 run that has placed Milwaukee just half a game ahead of the Cubs for the division lead. Yesterday's game looked close until then ninth when reliever Derek Turnbow gave up five runs.

Hank Steinbrenner confirmed today that team officials are at least talking about acquiring baseball's home-run king, though he wouldn't say just how serious those talks are.
