Brewers beat Cards' Leone with two homers in ninth, 5-4

MILWAUKEE _ All three Cardinals outfielders, Dexter Fowler, Tommy Pham and Marcell Ozuna, hit their first homers of the season Tuesday night in the Cardinals' 5-4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Rookie Jack Flaherty struck out nine in five innings, but, with rookie Jordan Hicks needing a night off and Greg Holland not here yet, the Cardinals' bullpen wasn't up to the task in holding a 4-1 lead.

One out away from his first National League save, Dominc Leone served up back-to-back homers on consecutive pitches to Christian Yelich and Ryan Braun as the Brewers pulled out a 5-4 comeback win.

Fowler and Pham homered on the first and third pitches of the game, respectively, off Milwaukee right-hander Chase Anderson.

Ozuna clocked one measured at 479 feet in the third.
