After nearly two months on the disabled list, Brandon Woodruff returned to the mound for the Brewers and his start was impressive. He pitched two hitless innings while striking out four in the Brewers 3-1 victory over the San Diego Padres, which pulled the Brewers into a tie with the Cubs for the National League’s second Wild Card spot. Milwaukee has won 11 of its last 12 games and 14 of 17. Lorenzo Cain homered homered leading off the third inning and Mike Moustakas snapped a 1-1 tie leading off the seventh to lead the Brewers offensively. The Cardinals lead is down to two games over the Cubs and Brewers. The Nationals lead in the Wild Card race by 1 ½ games over both Chicago and Milwaukee. Gio Gonzales, who was the scheduled starter, replaced Woodruff in the third inning, throwing two innings and giving up two hits while striking out four. Brent Suter, Matt Albers and Drew Pomeranz finished up with Albers, now 8-5, getting the win and Pomeranz notching his second save. The teams meet again tonight as the Padres send right-hander Dinelson Lamet, who’s 2-5, against fellow righty Adrian Houser, who’s 6-6. First pitch is at 6:40 and the game can be heard on AM1100/98.3FM, WISS.
