Jason Rogers feels right at home in the spoiler role. The Milwaukee rookie hit a pinch-hit grand Josh HillJerseyslam in the ninth inning off St. Louis closer Trevor Rosenthal to lift the Brewers to an 8-4 victory over the Cardinals on Sunday. The Cardinals' NL Central lead was cut to 2 1/2 games over Pittsburgh. The Cardinals' magic number for clinching the crown remains at five. St. Louis has lost two of three heading into a three-game showdown in Pittsburgh starting Monday. ''It's always good to beat guys at the end and maybe try and ruin their season,'' Rogers http://www.saintsonlineofficialshop.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_JUNIOR_GALETTE_JERSEY.htmlsaid. ''It was special, a grand slam off a tough righty, one of the best in the game.'' Khris Davis homered twice and drove in four runs for the Brewers, who scored seven runs in the ninth. ''This was a great come-from-behind win,http://www.saintsonlineofficialshop.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_KEENAN_LEWIS_JERSEY.html'' Davis said. ''We were all having fun out there. It was just a great feeling.'' All four Milwaukee batters reached safely against Rosenthal (2-4), who had converted 47 of 49 save opportunities. His last blown save came July 12 at Pittsburgh. ''I can't explain how it happened,'' Rosenthal said. ''Everything felt fine. I tried to get in a groove and couldn't quite get there. Just one of those days.'' Rogers, who is 13 of 48 as a pinch hitter, ripped his second pinch-hit homer of the season andPaul Dawson Jerseyfirst grand slam of his career. Davis added a three-run homer later in the ninth off Seth Maness for an 8-3 lead. ''In the ninth, wehttp://www.officialbengalsnflshop.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_REGGIE_NELSON_JERSEY.htmljust tried to give it our best chance with good at-bats,'' Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said. ''Everything fell into place. Got some good pinch-hit efforts.'' David Goforth (1-0) picked up the win with one inning of relief. Francisco Rodriguez recorded his 37th save in 39 chances. He retired Brandon Moss with two on to end the game. Matt Carpenter and Stephen Piscotty hit back-to-back homers in the seventh to give the Cardinals a 3-1 lead. Hernan Perez then started the Milwaukee ninth with a single. Martin Maldonado was hit by a pitch and Jonathan Lucroy walked to load the bases for Rogers. St. Louis starter John Lackey allowed one run on five hits over seven innings for his 26th quality start in 32 outings this season.
