Nolan Arenado's late-game heroics propelled the St. Louis Cardinals to a thrilling 6-5 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. After initially leading by five runs, the Cardinals found themselves in a tight spot, with Ryan Helsley blowing a save opportunity due to a two-run ninth inning from the Brewers. Jackson Chourio shone for Milwaukee, hitting a home run while contributing four hits and three RBIs. However, Arenado responded in the bottom of the ninth with a decisive home run off Trevor Megill, marking his third of the season and securing back-to-back wins for St. Louis for the first time since mid-April.

Starting pitcher Sonny Gray pitched effectively for St. Louis, but the team’s bullpen faced challenges, particularly in the ninth inning. Caleb Durbin and Chourio had significant contributions for Milwaukee, while the key defensive play of the night was a spectacular catch by Cardinals center fielder Victor Scott II. The loss extended Milwaukee's losing streak to four games, further complicating their trip.
