Jacob Misiorowski carried a no-hitter into the sixth and finished with 12 strikeouts, allowing 1 run on 2 hits and 1 walk over 7 innings as Milwaukee opened the series with a 5-1 win.
3 first-inning runs gave him immediate support after Jackson Chourio's leadoff walk set up William Contreras' RBI single and Christian Yelich's 2-run homer off Matthew Liberatore.
Pagés' bloop single ended the no-hit bid in the sixth and the Cardinals scratched out a run, but Milwaukee answered with Garrett Mitchell's RBI single in the bottom half and added another in the seventh.
57 pitches at 100-plus mph underscored Misiorowski's dominance, breaking the MLB-era single-game record and ending his day with a 1.83 ERA despite his 29 1/3-inning scoreless streak stopping.
The win gave the Brewers an early edge in a series against the NL Central rival closest to them in the standings, with Kyle Harrison set to face Michael McGreevy next.
