Nolan Arenado had three hits and drove in a run as the visiting St. Louis Cardinals posted a 2-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in the rubber match of a three-game series on Thursday.
Arenadoâs two-out single off right-hander Corbin Burnes (2-3) in the first inning scored Tommy Edman, who singled to lead off the game.
Burnes set the all-time record for consecutive strikeouts without a walk, extending his run to 58 before issuing his first free pass of the season in the fifth inning. The old mark of 56 was held by Gerrit Cole (2021) and Curt Schilling (2002), with Coleâs streak still active.

Right-hander Cody Poteet earned the victory in his major league debut as the Miami Marlins defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 on Wednesday night in Phoenix.
Poteet, 26, allowed four hits, no walks and two runs while striking out six as the Marlins snapped their season-high-tying, four-game losing streak.
Four Marlins relievers including Yimi Garcia in the ninth combined to pitch four scoreless innings. Garcia earned his sixth save of the year.
Miami s offense was led by Jesus Aguilar, who slugged a two-run homer, and Sandy Leon, who hit a solo shot. All nine of Aguilar s homers this season have come on the road.

The Milwaukee Brewers are two games over .500. The Miami Marlins are two games under .500. Yet, when the teams meet on Friday in Miami, it s the Marlins who will come in all smiles, on a three-game win streak.
Milwaukee, meanwhile, arrives on a five-game losing skid. Injuries are a big part of the Brewers story as they have had 19 players placed on the IL.
The Brewers, among others, have star outfielder Christian Yelich (back stiffness) on the IL along with both their catchers, Omar Narvaez (left hamstring) and Manny Pina (fractured left big toe); and two of their top three starting pitchers, Corbin Burnes (undisclosed but believed to be COVID protocol) and Josh Lindblom (right knee).
