Paul DeJong hit a two-run homer and Matthew Liberatore pitched five shutout innings as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday night, 3-0 to take two of three games in the series. Liberatore got help from three relievers in completing the shutout for the Red Birds who begin a four game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight at 5:50 on KSMO.

The Kansas City Royals used seven pitchers in a bullpen game who walked nine batters, but limited the damage to three runs and a two-run homer by Vinny Pasquantino proved to be enough as the Kansas City Royals beat San Diego Wednesday, 4-3 after beating them Tuesday night, 5-4. Maikel Garcia had three hits for the Royals who will have the day off today before playing the Chicago White Sox Friday.
