MILWAUKEE (AP) — José Fermín and Nathan Church hit RBI singles as the St. Louis Cardinals scored all their runs in the second inning of a 3-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.

The victory kept the Cardinals from going winless during a six-game road trip.

Milwaukee lost a day after becoming the first major league team to clinch a playoff berth.

Riley O’Brien allowed a two-out walk to Andruw Monasterio in the ninth before striking out Sal Frelick to earn his fourth save in seven opportunities. It was a measure of redemption for O’Brien, who allowed three runs without retiring a batter in a 9-8, 10-inning loss to Milwaukee on Saturday.

In the second inning, Brewers starter José Quintana (11-7) allowed six of the first seven Cardinals batters to reach.
