MILWAUKEE -- For a team that thinks it can and will play a whole lot better, the St. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Jonathan-Bullard-Jersey/ . Louis Cardinals are in decent position.Mike Leake struck out a season-high 10 over seven innings, Matt Adams and Randal Grichuk homered, and the Cardinals cooled off Milwaukee rookie Junior Guerra in a 5-1 victory over the Brewers on Sunday.Aledmys Diaz scored from first on a single in the fifth to snap a tie and the Cardinals entered the All-Star break having cut a 12-game deficit to the Cubs to seven in the NL Central.Thats pretty impressive, manager Mike Matheny said, because we havent played well.Adams snapped an 0-for-27 skid with a solo homer estimated at 455 feet to lead off the second. That ended a 16 1/3-inning scoreless streak for Guerra (6-2). The right-hander allowed another solo shot to Grichuk in the sixth and snapped a three-start winning streak.Grichuk and Adams added RBI hits in the ninth.Even though the (hitless skid) I felt that I was squaring up some balls and just hitting them hard right at them, Adams said. But I was swinging at balls I dont normally swing at. The last couple days I felt I was able to manage the strike zone a little bit better.Jonathan Lucroy had two hits, including an RBI single in the first for the Brewers, who are 0-13-1 in their last 14 series with St. Louis.Strikeouts have been a problem Milwaukee season, and Leake (6-7) was an unlikely candidate to keep that going.Leake entered with a rate of 5.7 strikeouts-per-nine-inning, ranking 91st out of 99 qualifying pitchers in the majors. However, he used his slider to keep Milwaukee off balance.I had that to go to because it was working and they were swinging over it, Leake said. So why not use it a little bit more?Leake allowed six hits and no walks in his first win since June 12.Mike was really good today, Matheny said. He got into some bad spots and made better pitchers when that happened.The Brewers wasted Chris Carters leadoff triple in the seventh, his first since 2014, and didnt score after putting runners at first and third with no outs in the third.To sustain a rally, you have to get something going there, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.Hernan Perez fanned three times, and the Brewers struck out 10 or more times for the 42nd time in 87 games.Ex-Brewers reliever Jonathan Broxton struck out two in a perfect eighth before a two-run ninth put it away.The Cardinals took a 2-1 lead in the fifth thanks to their speedy All-Star. Diaz reached on his 19th infield single with two out. He then never stopped and scored from first on Stephen Piscottys bloop single off center fielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis glove.I just ran hard and looked at the third base coach, Diaz said. I ran like it was a double in the gap and he sent me to home plate. I was ready to keep running.The 31-year-old Guerra walked Leake with two out in the sixth to end his day. The former independent league right-hander gave up seven hits and three walks while striking out five.I didnt make quality pitches at times, Guerra said. When I missed my spot, they took advantage and got some big hits.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: LF Matt Holliday (ankle) didnt start for a second straight day, but flied out as a pinch hitter in the eighth. ... C Alberto Rosario went 1 for 3 in his first big league start with veteran Yadier Molina resting a sore knee.Brewers: OF Domingo Santana (elbow) will remain in Milwaukee during the All-Star break to rehab. The goal is to hopefully increase his on-field activity starting Friday in Cincinnati, Counsell said. Hopefully by the weekend, we can determine dates for (a minor league rehab assignment).WEB GEMA fan in the first inning made a leaning catch of a foul ball with his glove, bounced off the top of the Milwaukee dugout and fell backward to the ground. The man held onto the ball and drew cheers from Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, sitting nearby.UP NEXTCardinals: Diaz replaces injured teammate Matt Carpenter in Tuesdays All-Star Game.

By the time his five-set comeback was nearly complete, more than two hours later, the fans were greeting each point that went Murrays way with celebrations of the sort normally reserved for a championship. Its been 77 years since a British man won the countrys Grand Slam tennis tournament, and thanks to the second-seeded Murrays 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 7-5 victory over 54th-ranked Fernando Verdasco, the locals still can hold out hope the wait will end Sunday. Murray will play in the semifinals at the All England Club for the fifth consecutive year Friday, facing No. 24 Jerzy Janowicz of Poland. The other semifinal is No. 1 Novak Djokovic of Serbia against No. 8 Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina. There is no doubt who will be the recipient of the most boisterous support. "Great atmosphere at the end of the match. ... I love it when its like that. It was extremely noisy," said Murray, who lost last years Wimbledon final to Roger Federer. "They were right into it, pretty much every single point." Murray needed to summon some strong tennis, and plenty of grit, for his seventh career victory. He never panicked -- no matter what all of his self-admonishing muttering and gesticulating looked like -- and eventually figured out how to handle Verdascos powerful serves and high-risk, high-reward style. "When you play more and more matches, and gain more experience, you understand how to turn matches around and how to change the momentum of games," Murray said. "Maybe when I was younger, I could have lost that match. But Ive learnt how to come back from tough situations more as I got older." Hes only 26, but he truly has matured as a player over the past 12 months. After shedding tears following the 2012 Wimbledon final, Murray returned to the same spot four weeks later and beat Federer to win a gold medal at the London Olympics. Then, at the U.S. Open in September, he defeated Djokovic to win his first Grand Slam title. Wednesdays other quarterfinals lasted a mere three sets each and the most compelling segments came at the very beginning of 2009 U.S. Open champion del Potros 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (5) win against No. 4 David Ferrer, and the very end of Janowiczs 7-5, 6-4, 6-4 victory over 130th-ranked Lukasz Kubot in the first Grand Slam match between two men from Poland. Janowicz, 22, reached his first major semifinal -- the first for a man from his country -- by pounding down 30 aces, and saving all six break points he faced. When it finished, Kubot walked around the net to Janowiczs side of the court and the pair of Davis Cup teammates embraced and exchanged shirts. Janowicz sat in his sideline chair, covered his face and sobbed. "Its not easy to control all of the feelings inside my body," he said. "I was never in (a major) quarterfinal before. I never had a chance to be in (the) semifinal of a Grand Slam. I never played against Lukasz before." Janowicz gave a succinct answer when asked for his thoughts about the semifinal between Djokovic vs. del Potro: "I dont care." On the fifth point del Potro played Wednesday, his left foot slid out from under him as he sprinted to reach a ball. Del Potros heavily wrapped left knee, which he hyperextended on a face-first tumble in the third round, slackened, then bent backward. "Really painful," del Potro said. "I was scared.&qquot; He fell to the turf and rolled over twice, then stayed down until a trainer came out to check on him and dispense anti-inflammatory medicine. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Quintin-Demps-Jersey/. "Magic pills," del Potro called them. After a 10-minute break, he resumed playing -- and playing quite well. He hasnt lost a set en route to his first Wimbledon semifinal. Djokovic also has won all 15 sets hes played, including in a 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-3 victory over No. 7 Tomas Berdych to reach a 13th consecutive Grand Slam semifinal, the second-longest streak in mens tennis history behind Roger Federers 23. Djokovic entered Wednesday with a 13-2 lead in their head-to-head series, but one loss came at Wimbledon in 2010, when Berdych was the runner-up, and the other came in their most recent meeting, at Rome in May. The first set was tight, and Berdych led 5-4 in the tiebreaker before faltering. He sent a return long, badly missed what should have been a routine backhand, then pushed a forehand wide for another error. That gave Djokovic the opening set, but Berdych responded strongly, breaking twice to lead 3-0 in the second. Not surprisingly, Djokovic awoke again, taking seven of the next eight games. "I dont know how I managed to turn the second set around," said six-time major champion Djokovic, who won Wimbledon in 2011. "I managed to step in and just tried to be a little bit more aggressive. That brought me a victory." Hes 8-3 against del Potro. The last time they met, though, in March at Indian Wells, Djokovic lost. And the last time they played at the All England Club, in the bronze-medal match at the Olympics, Djokovic lost, too. "Hes very tall, so he uses that serve as a powerful weapon. And of course (the) forehand, that is his signature shot," Djokovic said. "You know, its semifinals, so everything is open, on the table." The early eliminations of Federer and Rafael Nadal from the tournament opened up the draw for Murray, who has as good a chance as anyone to claim a trophy no British man has earned since Fred Perry in 1936. That certainly seemed in peril when Verdasco grabbed a two-set lead. "The second set," Murray said, "was a bad set of tennis for me." But he broke to go ahead 2-0 in the third, which he wrapped up rather easily. "Gave him a lot of confidence," Verdasco said. Trailing 3-2 in the fourth, Murray faced two break points. Said Verdasco: "The match wouldnt have been over, but I would have been real close." Murray erased one break point with a service winner, the other with an ace. Then he broke in the very next game, during which Verdasco complained to the chair umpire about too much noise during the course of play -- the "oohs" and "aahs," the yelps of excitement, the groans of disappointment. Quickly, Murray took the fourth set, too. In the fifth, Verdasco led 4-3 when Murray fell behind love-30 while serving. Again, Murray came through, taking the next four points to make it 4-4. "They gave him strength," Verdasco said. "How much, you dont know. But having the crowds support can help." At 5-5, a 21-stroke exchange closed with Verdasco dropping a backhand into the net to give Murray a break point, the last he would need. Murray came up with one of several superb returns, and Verdasco missed a forehand. That made it 6-5, and Murray served out the match to love. "Verdasco played very well," said Murrays coach, eight-time major champion Ivan Lendl. "Andy did what he had to do to win."
