Cardinals topple Brewers, 7-1 to take a 3-2 lead in NLCS

With one victory away from the World Series, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers, 7-1 to take a 3-2 lead in the National League Championship Series.

The Brewers didn't help their cause any , especially after committing four errors, one more than their high in the regular season, leading to three unearned runs against Zack Greinke.

Yadier Molina and Matt Holliday had three hits each for St. Louis, which ended an 0-for-15 slump with runners in scoring position on Molina’s RBI double in the second along with two more.

St. Louis can wrap up the series and its 18th NL pennant this Sunday in Milwaukee. Edwin Jackson will start for the Cardinals against Milwaukee's Shaun Marcum in a rematch of Game 2.
