ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Cardinals relied on power and the pitching of Carlos Martinez to solve their home woes Friday night.Matt Carpenter and Stephen Piscotty supplied two-run homers for the National Leagues leading home run team and Martinez (14-7) pitched seven strong innings in a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.The win improved the Cardinals to 31-38 at Busch Stadium and kept them a half-game behind the New York Mets for the NLs second wild card.Jimmy Nelson (7-14) retired the first eight Cardinals before Martinez started a two-out rally with a single up the middle. Carpenter followed with his 19th home run, Kolten Wong walked and Piscotty gave St. Louis the lead by hitting his 21st homer into the bullpen in right field.That gave me the extra energy to make it through and get the win for the team, Martinez said of the long balls.Martinez gave up nine hits and hit two batters in seven innings but was helped by three double plays. He equaled his win total from last season and improved to 3-0 in four starts against Milwaukee.Hes our guy right now, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Carlos has been so consistent weve begun to anticipate hes going to have that strong outing.Nelson lasted six innings and allowed five hits but fell to 0-7 in eight career starts against St. Louis.The two guys that can really hurt him, hurt him, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Make mistakes to those guys and thats whats going to happen.Its just a crazy game and stuff happens, Nelson said. Theres never really just one answer in this game to anything. You dont want to think theres something wrong and start overanalyzing stuff so you just try to keep it simple.Scooter Gennetts two-run homer in the third gave the Brewers a 3-0 lead. Milwaukee scored an unearned run in the first when Gennett walked, Chris Carter was hit by a pitch and Kirk Nieuwenhuis hit a hard one-hopper that shortstop Jedd Gyorko did not handle.After the first-inning error, the Cardinals defense later stopped two potential rallies. Piscotty made a running, over-the-head catch that saved a run in the sixth and Wong helped Martinez escape the third by making strong plays on two grounders at second base.Defense showed up, for sure, Piscotty said.Wong reached base three times by walking twice and getting hit by a pitch.Im just tired of people thinking that Im not good, said Wong, who has been relegated to backup duty much of the season. I believe in myself to the fullest.Seung-Hwan Oh worked around a leadoff walk in the ninth for his 17th save in 20 chances.DOUBLING UPMartinez induced double-play grounders in the second and third innings to increase his NL-leading total to 32, two shy of the Cardinals team record set by John Denny in 1978. Wong backhanded a grounder up the middle and scooped the ball from his glove to Gyorko to start the third-inning double play. Thats one of the best plays weve seen here, Matheny said. The Brewers popped out into a double play in the fourth.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: SS Aledmys Diaz (right thumb) went 2 for 4 for Double-A Springfield in a rehab start Friday night. ...
