Braden Looper pitched around Prince Fielder and limited the rest of a Milwaukee Brewers' lineup without Ryan Braun to three hits in five innings, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 6-1 victory Tuesday night. Skip Schumaker had two hits and two RBIs and Adam Kennedy was 3-for-4 with an RBI for the NL Central leading, 10-4 Cardinals.

Chris Duncan also had an RBI and Kennedy added a heads-up baserunning play, going from first to third on a groundout and then scoring an insurance run in the seventh. Looper (3-0) tied his high with five walks since moving into the rotation last season, including Fielder all three times. Fielder is 3-for-6 with a homer and seven walks against the right-hander.
