ST. LOUIS -- The Milwaukee Brewers showed no sense of satisfaction in the clubhouse, even though theyd just won for the 13th time in 14 games and appeared to be pulling away in the NL Central. Far from it. After working eight sharp innings in a 5-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night, Randy Wolf noted its still early. The Brewers are 8-3 against the Cardinals, but there are seven games to go in the season series. "Weve just got to keep playing well," Wolf said. "We have a tough schedule ahead of us. We cant sit back and think we can cruise from here on out." Prince Fielder had a sacrifice fly in the first inning and an RBI double in the third to help the Brewers open a five-game cushion on second-place St. Louis. Milwaukee clinched only its fifth road series win of the season and will try for a three-game sweep Thursday night. The Brewers have taken four of five from St. Louis this month, although they doubt theyve taken the fight out of their closest pursuers. "Maybe. I dont know," leadoff man Corey Hart said after getting a two-run single and two walks. "Theres so many games left, I think we both kind of view this as a series in the middle of August." The Brewers are 41-15 at home and just 26-35 on the road, but are one win away from a perfect 6-0 trip. "I think we carried over what we were doing at home and Im hoping that this is the point where it doesnt really matter to them whether were at home or road, they know we can win at both places," manager Ron Roenicke said. "Thats important for them to feel that way." Albert Pujols had a sacrifice fly in the first for the Cardinals, but is 0-for-8 in the series and 5-for-42 (.119) with only four RBIs against the Brewers this season. St. Louis entered with a four-game winning streak but has yet to lead in the series. "Its not about me, dude, its about the ballclub," Pujols said. "If I go 0-for-8 and we would have gotten two wins out there, who cares about it? "Just a couple of tough losses." Wolf (9-8) relied on defence, retiring 18 of his last 20 with no walks and one strikeout. He allowed one run and five hits, and pitched four 1-2-3 innings. Hes beaten the Cardinals his last two outings although this one was a lot better than a week earlier when he gave up five runs in six innings of a 10-5 victory. "He had everything working," Roenicke said. "He got a lot stronger as the game went along, his command got better. Its hard to figure out what to do to do in the ninth, he was pitching so well." Hart added a two-run single in the ninth off Mitchell Boggs. Four of the first five Brewers reached safely to open the game, although they settled for Fielders sacrifice fly. The Cardinals matched them in the bottom of the first on Rafael Furcals leadoff double, a sacrifice fly and Pujols sacrifice fly. The Brewers took the lead in the third when Ryan Braun walked with one out, stole second and scored on Fielders double, and Yuniesky Betancourt made it 3-1 with a two-out single. Jake Westbrook (9-6) settled down after that, retiring 11 in a row before walking Fielder with one out in the eighth. He lasted eight innings despite matching his season high with five walks, three of them to the first 12 hitters. "My sinker was kind of all over the place early and my other pitches werent as good as they have been," Westbrook said. "I still felt like I was able to minimize the damage a little bit and give us a chance." Wolfs only other bit of trouble came in the second when Ryan Theriot singled and Jon Jay doubled with two outs, but Westbrook lined out to centre to end the inning. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa was ejected by first base umpire Greg Gibson in the ninth for arguing a call at first. Pinch hitter Josh Wilson was ruled safe on a sacrifice bunt when Pujols struggled to keep his toe in contact with the first base bag. Pujols said he thought he had touched the corner of the bag. "He missed a call and he didnt think he missed it," La Russa said. "That had very little to do with us losing the game. Short fuse, very undeserved ejection." Though he didnt like the call, Pujols was happy with the way he was treated. "He didnt give me any attitude back," Pujols said. "He just said Hey, I didnt see it and that was it. He was honest." NOTES: Casey McGehee is batting .435 (10 for 23) in extra innings since joining the Brewers in 2009, the best average on the team during that span. ... Lance Berkman is 3-for-30 against Wolf and was not in the St. Louis lineup even after Matt Holliday was scratched with what the team believes is a minor lower back injury sustained in the weight room earlier Wednesday. Holliday said he was hurt on the left side while getting ready to lift. St. Louis Rams William Hayes Jersey .

Then, quite unexpectedly, the Tigers put together a string of six consecutive hits in what would turn out to be their biggest comeback victory of the season. CAMPBELLVILLE, Ont. -- Captaintreacherous followed in his famous fathers footsteps Saturday night at the $1-million Pepsi North America Cup. The son of 2008 champion Somebeachsomewhere came from mid-pack to capture a stirring 1 1/2-length victory over longshot Twilight Bonfire in the worlds richest pacing event at Mohawk Racetrack. Captaintreacherous, who went off at 7-5 odds, became the first favourite to win this race since Somebeachsomewhere and earned American Tim Tetrick, North Americas top driver last year, his first North America Cup victory. "Hes such a good horse," Tetrick said. "At times he doesnt always show it but hes always great. "I put a lot of confidence in my colt and when I called on him, he did his job." Captaintreacherous, North Americas 2012 champion two-year-old pacer, finished in one minute 48.3 seconds to earn the $500,000 winners share and push his career earnings over $1.4 million. He also improved to 3-0 this year and has never finished out of the money (11 wins, one second, one third). Twilight Bonfire, a whopping 90-1 longshot, finished ahead of third-place finisher Wake Up Peter. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne wasnt present for the North America Cup but was in attendance at Mohawk Racetrack earlier Saturday night. The remainder of the field, in order of finish, was: Fool Me Once; Sunshine Beach; Captive Audience; Vegas Vacation; Martini Hanover; Odds on Equuleus; and Apprentice Hanover. Captaintreacherous paid $4.80, $3.30 and $2.70. Twilight Bonfire returned $44 and $15.40 while Wake Up Peter paid $4.80. Captaintreacherous left from the No. 4 hole but was no better than fifth for most of the mile as Captive Audience, a 35-1 longshot driven by Randy Waples of Milton, Ont., stormed to the lead. Waples won last years North America Cup with stakes record-holder Thinking Out Loud. Canadian-owned Fool Me Once, with veteran driver Sylvain Filion of Saint-Andre-DArgenteuil, Que., had the lead over Captive Audience after the final turn. But down the stretch Tetrick took Captaintreacherous out wide and the three-year-old pacer simply found another gear to storm to the decisive win. "Thats the main thing," Tetrick said. "They have to want to do it, they have to want to be champions, they havve to be able to put the moves out in front.dddddddddddd "You know, he doesnt always win by much but he gets the job done and hes good." And it was no small feat considering Fool Me Once posted a career-best effort of 1:48.1 in posting the fastest elimination-winning time last weekend at Mohawk. Captaintreacherous enjoyed a banner 2012 campaign, winning 8-of-10 starts, including the $1 million Metro Pace. And winning trainer Tony Alagna figured Saturdays race would pan out much like the 12 Metro Pace, the countrys top race for two-year-old pacers. "I talked to Timmy before the race and said, The way it looks like its going to unfold out exactly how the Metro did last year," said Alagna, who also conditioned Wake Up Peter. "A couple of horses are going to run from the outside and theyre going to carry you into it. "And thats how the race worked out. Tim worked out a masterful trip and the horse showed up. Every time this horse gets a question mark he comes back and answers with an exclamation mark." Captaintreacherouss performance left part-owner Marvin Katz of Toronto speechless -- sort of. "Its indescribable, its profound, its just hard find to find words to articulate this," Katz said. "He elevated himself to the pantheon of great horses. "This was not easy. This is a great group of horses he defeated and he really raced like the champion he is. He really elevated his stock tonight." David Miller, the driver for Twilight Bonfire, was ecstatic with his second-place finisher. And with good reason. Twilight Bonfire finished fourth in his elimination race last weekend but drew into the Cup field. "I feel like I won the race," he said. "The horse race tremendous. "I was a bit disappointed in him last week but we were lucky to get in this race with the draw and he proved that he belongs." Filion said he knew early something was wrong with Fool Me Once. "When we hit the half he chucked his head, almost like he was looking for air," Filion said. "Right then I thought he wasnt himself and I know we went a good third quarter but he wasnt the same as last week. "Last week he was right on the bit and tonight I had to chase him along." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys from china ' ' '
