Through 36 innings at American Family Field, 29 runs and two pitchers getting their first major-league wins, the series left the teams where they started, caught in a staring contest atop the National League Central waiting for the first bullpen that blinks. The standings remained the same. The Cardinals, however, are undergoing change. Dakota Hudson could not dodge trouble forever and allowed two home runs that misplaced leads and tilted the game toward the Brewers. Reliever Drew VerHagen failed to retire any of the three batters he faced so that Milwaukee added cushion for a 6-4 victory Thursday. For the third time this season, the Cardinals entered the final game of a four-game series against Milwaukee with a chance to win the series and did not. Splitsville. One run separated them over four days. Through the first 12 games against each other this season, the division leaders are 6-6, and they finished this series as it started, with each team having the same record (40-32). Socks aren’t as evenly matched as the Brewers and Cardinals. “I’d like to play them every day,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said. “Honestly, I’d love to play them 100 and whatever times. I like the style of play that we have. I like playing them. I enjoy the overall competition, the way our rosters matchup. It’s a good team over there. They’re managed well. They have good pieces.” Marmol will be moving some of his around. [/QUOTE]
