The Brewers fell behind 2-0 early tonight, but Zack Greinke and two relievers shut the Cardinals down from there en route to a 6-2 victory. Tonight's game was the 15th in a row where the Brewers have allowed four runs or fewer, the second longest streak in franchise history:
| Start | End | Games | Runs | Record |
| 9/11/1992 | 9/29/1992 | 18 | 35 | 15-3 |
| 7/17/2011 | Present | 15 | 35 | 10-4 |
| 7/8/1988 | 7/22/1988 | 12 | 27 | 10-2 |
| 4/29/2007 | 5/9/2007 | 11 | 20 | 10-1 |
| 4/21/1992 | 5/3/1992 | 11 | 31 | 7-4 |
This streak is also the longest in all of baseball in 2011. The Indians had 14 straight from April 3-18, but since July 1 no other team has had a streak longer than nine games.
