Reliever Ryan Helsley (5-4) earned the victory.
Joey Ortiz drove in three runs and Jackson Chourio went 4-for-5 with two RBIs and a run for the Brewers, who saw their six-game winning streak end.
Brewers starting pitcher Tobias Myers allowed two runs on six hits in four innings. He struck out five and walked two.
Reliever Trevor Megill (0-3) took the loss.
Home plate umpire Brian Walsh ejected Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy in the ninth inning for protesting ball-and-strike calls.

The Brewers moved ahead 4-2 in the seventh inning. Hoskins and Ortiz walked, Brice Turang reached on a bunt, and Chourio hit a two-run single.
But the Cardinals tied the score in their half of the inning. Alec Burleson hit a double and Baker smacked a pinch-hit homer in his first big league at-bat of the season.
Milwaukee retook the lead 6-4 in the eighth inning. Willy Adames and Hoskins walked, and Ortiz hit a two-run double.
The Cardinals tied the score 6-6 in the ninth to force extra innings. Devin Williams hit Willson Contreras with a pitch to lead off the inning. Jose Fermin hit a double and Nootbaar, Carpenter and Pham drew walks to force in the tying runs.
