Brewers defeat Cardinals 6-2

The Milwaukee Brewers secured a 6-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, driven by a dominant first-inning offensive surge.

Andrew Vaughn delivered a three-run home run as part of a four-run opening frame that put the game out of reach early for St. Louis.

Pitcher Aaron Ashby earned his sixth win of the season, tying for the major league lead and continuing his breakout campaign.

The Brewers' defense remained solid throughout the contest, while the Cardinals struggled to generate consistent offense against Milwaukee's effective bullpen rotation.
