Brewers look to bounce back vs. Cardinals

Apr 22, 2008 - 10:28 AM St Louis (13-7) at Milwaukee (11-8) 1:05 pm EDT

MILWAUKEE (Ticker) - The Milwaukee Brewers try to bounce back from a heart-breaking loss when they conclude a two-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday.

Skip Schumaker's RBI double plated Brian Barton in the top of the ninth inning to give the Cardinals a 4-3 victory at Miller Park on Monday.

The win was just St. Louis' second in the last five contests while Schumaker got back on track after having a six-game hitting streak snapped on Sunday.

The 28-year-old right fielder leads the Cardinals with 16 runs scored this season while posting a .308 batting average with one home run and six RBI.

Monday's loss was the second in a row for the Brewers, who took a 3-1 lead in the top of the 10th inning on Sunday before the Cincinnati Reds rallied for three runs in the bottom of the frame to steal the victory.

Manny Parra (1-1, 5.40 ERA) takes the mound for the Brewers on Tuesday and is looking to improve upon his last start against the Cardinals.

The 25-year-old lefthander allowed three runs and five hits in four innings and did not factor in the decision as the Brewers rallied for a 5-3 victory on Thursday.

Righthander Kyle Lohse (2-0, 1.48) counters for the Cardinals.
