Casey McGehee's RBI double in the top of the 10th inning lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to a 5-3 victory over St. Louis and increased their lead over the Cardinals in the National League Central to four games.
Yuniesky Betancourt's sacrifice fly off Octavio Dotel (2-2) made it 5-3. Nyjer Morgan and Prince Fielder had both reached in the 10th with singles.
LaTroy Hawkins (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth and John Axford worked around a one-out double by Lance Berkman in the 10th to earn his 33rd save in 35 chances - and 30th straight - as the Brewers have won 12 of their last 13.
Milwaukee right fielder Corey Hart, who missed one game with a bruised hand, crushed a 416-foot two-run homer to center in the third.
The Brewers led 3-1 in the sixth before David Freese, just back from a concussion, and Gerald Laird delivered RBI singles to tie it for the Cardinals.
Albert Pujols went 0-for-5 and stranded two runners in the ninth, and rookie pitcher Lance Lynn left in the ninth with a left oblique strain for St. Louis.
