ST. LOUIS -- Milwaukees Ryan Braun fouled off the pitch he liked before coming through for the Brewers.Braun hit a solo home run in the ninth inning and the Brewers beat St. Louis 2-1 on Sunday, dropping the Cardinals back in the NL wild-card race.The Cardinals are a half-game behind the Mets for the second wild-card slot.Braun connected on a 3-2 fastball off Kevin Siegrist (5-3) for his 27th homer of the season and 19th in his career against the Cardinals.The 0-1 pitch was the best pitch to hit, said Braun, who fouled it off. It was better than the one I hit. The one I hit out was on the black in.Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell liked Brauns approach in the at-bat.He hit a couple of foul balls there where he took really good swings, Counsell said. Hes (Siegrest) tough on rightys, always has been. Braun got himself back in the count and he made a mistake. It was a no-doubter.St. Louis had tied it in the eighth when Matt Carpenter doubled and scored on Stephen Piscottys sacrifice fly off Tyler Thornburg (6-5).Thornburg struck out three in the ninth.We only used Thorny once in the last week so he was well rested, Counsell said. We gave him the extra outs. Hes got a great mentality in this role.The Cardinals fell to 32-39 at home this season.Its always disappointing, St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. In these close games, you feel like you got a real shot and theyre always hard to swallow when it doesnt work out.The Brewers other run came in the first on singles by Scooter Gennett and Braun and a sacrifice fly from Chris Carter.Milwaukee had just four hits in the game, with Braun getting the only one after the fifth inning.Zach Davies pitched 7 1/3 innings and gave up one run on five hits while striking out seven and walking one.This is a game where you have to battle even harder, Davies said. Every pitch counts.Cardinals rookie Luke Weaver allowed three hits in six innings. He struck out eight with one walk.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: RHP Michael Wacha, who has missed 29 games with shoulder inflammation, is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Monday.

We must not relent in our pursuit of success and to do the Scottish people proud.John Barclay and Ryan Wilson complete the loose forwards with the increasingly ever-present partnership of brothers Jonny and Richie Gray filing into the second row.

Another notable inclusion appears among the replacements with Glasgow Warriors scrum-half Ali Price set to make his debut if called upon from the bench.Price is one of two players originally listed as training with the squad to be given the nod by Cotter for this Saturdays Test, with replacement wing Rory Hughes in line to make a first home appearance.Scotland team to face Australia:Stuart Hogg, Sean Maitland, Huw Jones, Alex Dunbar, Tim Visser, Finn Russell, Greig Laidlaw (capt);Allan Dell, Ross Ford, Zander Fagerson, Richie Gray, Jonny Gray, John Barclay, Hamish Watson, Ryan Wilson.
