UNDATED (AP) — A 17-game winning streak has allowed the St. Louis Cardinals to wrap up the second National League wild card with five days to spare.
Dylan Carlson, Nolan Arenado and Jose Rondon homered to back Adam Wainwright in the Redbirds’ 6-2 victory over the Brewers.
The game was tied 2-2 in the fifth until Tyler O’Neill hit a run-scoring single, his 22nd RBI in his last 20 games.
Wainwright allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings for his 17th victory.
He’s won his last six decisions.
St. Louis was 71-69 on Sept. 11 before the winning streak, the longest in team history and the longest in the major leagues since Cleveland took 22 in a row in 2017.
