The Milwaukee Brewers kept their winning ways going on the road Tuesday night as they edged the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 at Busch Stadium.

The Brewers took a 3-0 lead into the bottom of the eighth inning, thanks to outstanding pitching by starter Frankie Montas.  Montas went seven strong innings allowing only one hit and one walk while striking out three.

The Cardinals made things interesting in by cutting the lead to 3-2 with a two-run pitch-hit home run by Matt Carpenter off reliever Nick Mears in the eighth inning. 

Devin Williams pitched out of a one-out jam with runners at second and third in the ninth to pick up his fifth save of the season.  Williams struck out Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Gorman to end the game and give the Brewers their sixth consecutive wins.

William Contreras led the Brewer attack with three hits and one RBI, while Sal Frelick added two hits and one RBI.

The Brewers and Cardinals will go at it again Wednesday night with Tobias Myers getting the start for Milwaukee and Kyle Gibson getting the nod for St. Louis.  First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m.
