The St. Louis Cardinals have been among the best overall teams in baseball lately and the good times continued early on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers. St. Louis struck first in the second inning of the contest with JJ Wetherholt driving in shortstop Masyn Winn. The big hit came for the club in the fourth inning, though. Cardinals designated hitter Iván Herrera stepped up to the plate in the fourth inning with the bases loaded and Chad Patrick on the mound for the Brewers. Herrera responded with a bases-clearing double to the gap between left field and center field to give the Cardinals an early 4-0 lead over their National League Central rival .
