Unfortunately, the loss also saw Milwaukee on the wrong side of history as Cardinals' longtime ace Adam Wainwright recorded his 200th career win.

Per ESPN Stats & Info:

Adam Wainwright picks up the 200th win of his career. He's the 5th active pitcher to reach 200 wins (Justin Verlander, Zack Greinke, Max Scherzer, Clayton Kershaw) and the 3rd pitcher in Cardinals history to reach the mark (Bob Gibson and Jesse Haines).

The Brewers failed to get anything going off the right-hander, who went 7.0 innings, allowing four hits and no earned runs. He struck out three in moving to 5-11 on the year with a 7.40 ERA. Lifetime, he's 200-128 with a 3.53 ERA. He's in his 18th major league season.

As for Milwaukee, the loss squandered a great pitching effort from Freddy Peralta. The righty went 6.0 innings, surrendering one run on four hits. He struck out six and is now 12-9 with a 3.71 ERA.

The two teams will play again on Tuesday night in St. Louis. First pitch is set for 7:45 p.m. ET as Trevor Megill (MIL) pitches against Drew Rom (STL).

Megill is 1-0 with a 3.19 ERA while Rom is 1-2 with a 5.96.
