ST. LOUIS _ After the Cardinals had played catch-up for several innings, right-hander Trevor Rosenthal had a rare misstep in the eighth when the Milwaukee Brewers scored three runs to break a 5-5 tie and take an 8-5 victory Tuesday night as the day-night doubleheader at Busch Stadium ended with one win apiece.
Rosenthal, who had struck out all three hitters he faced on Sunday, didn't retire any of four hitters he faced in the eighth Tuesday.
Rosenthal walked two hitters and allowed two line singles through the box before giving way to closer Seung Hwan Oh, who rarely enters games when the club is behind. Oh allowed a run-scoring single to Manny Pina and a sacrifice fly caught by Jedd Gyorko, who made his first appearance in left field when he entered the game with Oh. Gyorko also caught the final out of the inning.
Matt Carpenter homered, doubled and singled for the Cardinals, with his homer tying the score in the seventh. He is 11 for 28 since being restored to the leadoff spot.
Left-hander Marco Gonzales, starting for the Cardinals for the first time since 2015, was staked to a 2-0 lead but allowed three home runs in the third and fourth innings, the latter of which he didn't finish.
Struggling left-handed relievers Brett Cecil and Kevin Siegrist knocked off three scoreless innings, two by Cecil. But the more reliable Rosenthal had little to offer as he suffered his third loss in four decisions.
Jose Martinez had two homers and drove in three runs as the Cardinals won the opener 6-0 behind five scoreless innings from Lance Lynn (5-3).
