ST. LOUIS — Victor Caratini hit a three-run homer and Blake Perkins added a solo shot, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in the final game of a four-game series. The Brewers' magic number to clinch their second National League Central title in three years fell to two on Thursday with nine games to play. Milwaukee could wrap up the division title as soon as Friday in Miami with another victory along with a Chicago Cubs loss. The number to just clinch a postseason berth is two over the Marlins. Wade Miley breezed through six scoreless innings, throwing 92 pitches.
