During the run-up to last year’s NL championship series, the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers openly acknowledged something most people already knew: The two division rivals didn’t like each other very much. The Cardinals went on to earn ultimate bragging rights in one of baseball’s most spirited rivalries last season, knocking the Brewers out of the playoffs and going on to…

Cards hit 4 HRs off Gallardo, pound Brewers 11-5 (AP)

The St. Louis Cardinals aren’t counting on one single player to replace Albert Pujols. And when four different players hit home runs off Yovani Gallardo, it certainly looks like a team-wide approach to making up for Pujols’ departure just might work for the defending champions. David Freese hit a two-run drive and Yadier Molina, Carlos Beltran and Matt Holliday hit solo shots off Gallardo,…

Gallardo gave up four home runs and the St. Louis Cardinals spoiled the Brewers’ opener with an 11-5 victory on Friday. “Command was a big issue,” Gallardo said.

Albert Pujols may be gone from the lineup, but the Cardinals on Friday showed the same thunder they had showed last October in Milwaukee.

In their final two games in Milwaukee in last year’s National League Championship Series (the Cardinals won it four games to two), the Cardinals outscored the Brewers, 24-9, hitting five home runs. After spotting the Brewers to a two-run lead in the first, the Cardinals exploded for four home runs, three of them coming in a span of four batters in the third inning, and pounded the Brewers, 11-5, in Milwaukee’s season opener.

Certainly nothing had changed in the Cardinals’ approach to Milwaukee right-hander Yovani Gallardo, whose only career win against the Cardinals had come in a near no-hitter last May.
