Both Willson Contreras and Rhys Hoskins were hit by pitches and tempers flared, but a three-run home run by St. Louis' Nolan Gorman loomed large.

With the tying run in scoring position in the ninth inning, Milwaukee closer Trevor Megill struck out three consecutive Cardinals to secure a 3-2 win Sunday.

A collision at first base led to a spat between the Cardinals vet and a Brewers player — and a fiery postgame rant.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Nolan Gorman hit a three-run homer, Willson Contreras added a solo shot in the ninth inning and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-5 on Saturday to snap a six-game losing streak.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras' collision with Milwaukee Brewers baserunner Caleb Durbin sparked a war of words.

Miles Mikolas starts for the St. Louis Cardinals vs. the Milwaukee Brewers' Quinn Priester in Sunday's finale of a 4-game series.

To support his teammate, Rhys Hoskins voiced his displeasure loudly from the bench. In a postgame interview, Contreras was asked about the incident, and his fiery NSFW response went viral on social media. While Willson Contreras never named the player, it was evident that he was taking a jibe at Rhys Hoskins.

With their six-game skid in the rearview mirror, the St. Louis Cardinals will try to build some momentum behind veteran Miles Mikolas on Sunday when they close out the four-game series against the host Milwaukee Brewers.
