Robert Gasser was nearly untouchable at American Family Field on Friday, September 25, 2026, spinning six innings of one-hit, one-run ball with nine strikeouts to lead the Milwaukee Brewers past the St. Louis Cardinals 8-4. Brice Turang provided the offensive engine with three hits and three RBI in five at-bats, and the Brewers tagged Cardinals starter Michael McGreevy for four earned runs on nine hits over 4.2 innings to build a lead they never surrendered. The win gives Milwaukee a clean divisional victory over a rival in the final weeks of the 2026 regular season.

Robert Gasser Dominates Cardinals With Nine Strikeouts in Six Innings

Gasser's line was as clean as it gets for a Friday night start: six innings, one hit, one walk, one earned run, and nine strikeouts. He gave the Brewers exactly what they needed — length, efficiency, and punch. Gasser allowed just one hit through six frames, keeping St. Louis hitters guessing all night and giving Milwaukee's offense time to build a cushion.

The Cardinals scratched out their lone run against Gasser in regulation, but the damage was minimal compared to what he was dealing. Nine strikeouts on one hit allowed is the kind of performance that sets a tone for a ballclub heading into the season's final stretch.

Brice Turang Leads Brewers Offense With Three Hits and Three RBI

Turang was the story at the plate. He went 3-for-5 with three RBI, doing consistent damage throughout the lineup against a Cardinals pitching staff that cycled through five arms. McGreevy, who started for St. Louis, couldn't get through five innings, surrendering nine hits and four earned runs before departing.

Joey Ortiz went 2-for-3 to support the top of the order, and David Hamilton added two hits in three at-bats, giving Milwaukee a balanced attack that kept pressure on St. Louis all night. The Brewers collected at least nine hits against the Cardinals staff — a collective effort that made life difficult for every pitcher St. Louis called on.

Seventh-Inning Trouble From Bryse Wilson Couldn't Undo Milwaukee's Lead

The game's one rough patch came in the seventh inning, when Bryse Wilson entered in relief and ran into immediate trouble. Wilson allowed three hits and three earned runs in one inning of work, tightening what had been a comfortable margin. But Milwaukee had built enough of a cushion that the Cardinals couldn't fully close the gap.

Abner Uribe came on and steadied the ship, throwing a scoreless inning with one strikeout and allowing just one hit. Uribe picked up the official win. Trevor Megill closed things out with a clean ninth — one hit allowed, one strikeout, zero earned runs — to secure the final 8-4 margin.

Cardinals Offense Gets Solo Home Runs But Can't Sustain Pressure

St. Louis got solo shots from Iván Herrera, Jordan Walker, and Alec Burleson — Burleson's going for two RBI — but those swings came in scattered fashion and never generated the kind of sustained rally needed to threaten Gasser's early command. Leo Bernal went 2-for-4 for St. Louis but didn't score. Luis Gastelum took the loss after allowing one earned run in one inning of relief work.
