MILWAUKEE -- Stephen Piscotty watched Jonathan Villars throw skid past first base, then sprinted 180 feet to give the St. Louis Cardinals a victory.Piscotty scored on a throwing error in the ninth inning after Carlos Martinez struck out a career-high 13, leading the Cardinals over the Milwaukee Brewers 6-5 on Monday night.With two on and nobody out in the ninth, Yadier Molina dropped down a bunt. Reliever Tyler Thornburg (5-5) threw to third base for a force out, but Villars throw to first was wild, allowing Piscotty to score from second.Put pressure on them, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Thats it. Make them make plays.The Cardinals maintained a slim lead over Pittsburgh for the second NL wild card.It was Villars 25th error and his eighth since moving from shortstop to third base to accommodate rookie shortstop Orlando Arcia.He just made a bad throw, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. We talked about that situation out there and the possibility for a double play. He just rushed it a little bit probably. The big out was to get the out at third. We just didnt make the play.After Martinez held Milwaukee to one run over six innings, the Brewers scored four runs in the seventh to take a 5-3 lead. St. Louis tied it in the eighth on a two-run homer by Randal Grichuk off Corey Knebel.Seung Hwan Oh pitched a perfect ninth for his 14th save. Miguel Socolovich (1-0) worked 1 2/3 scoreless innings to pick up his first win.The Cardinals took the lead on a sacrifice fly by Wong in the fourth. Jedd Gyorko homered in the fifth and Kolten Wong hit a solo shot in the fifth for a 3-1 advantage.Martinez allowed four hits and walked two while throwing 98 pitches. He struck out eight of the first 11 batters and didnt allow a hit to the outfield until the sixth.I really tried working hard on my breaking ball and thats what I tried to stay focused on, Martinez said through a translator. I didnt do anything different. I know that the balls can go far (in Miller Park), and I know that theyre looking for a four-seamer, so I just try to switch it up and confuse them.Arcia began the four-run seventh with a homer off Matt Bowman. Villar had an RBI double, and then Milwaukee went ahead on an RBI infield single by Scooter Gennett. The Brewers sent 10 batters to the plate against three relievers during the inning.However, Milwaukee squandered a chance to extend its lead. After Kevin Siegrist walked Hernan Perez to walk in a run, Socolovich came on to strike out Chris Carter and get Kirk Nieuwenhuis to pop out to shortstop.It was a mistake-filled loss for the Brewers. A botched rundown led to St. Louis first run and the winning run scored on what should have been an inning-changing double play.Milwaukee also set a franchise record for most strikeouts in a nine-inning game with 19.Were playing these teams fighting for playoff spots, Counsell said. We just didnt do quite enough right. We have to capitalize on every single opportunity, defensively and offensively.Brewers starter Zach Davies (10-7) matched his career high with nine strikeouts but gave up three runs and seven hits over 6 1/3 innings.RELIEVER RECALLEDThe Cardinals recalled LHP Dean Kiekhefer from Triple-A Memphis to fill the roster spot of RHP Mike Leake, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: Leakes placement on the disabled list is retroactive to Aug. 22.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Teriyon Gipson ran for a career-best 217 yards and two touchdowns and Richard McQuarley had three touchdowns and 121 yards, leading a New Mexico rushing onslaught Saturday for a 56-35 win over Wyoming.Lobos quarterback Lamar Jordan also had a career-best with 176 yards on the ground, and threw for 122 yards.Brian Hill ran for 126 yards and three touchdowns for Wyoming (8-4, 6-2 Mountain West).But New Mexico (8-4, 6-2) could not be stopped on the ground with 568 yards rushing, the most Wyoming has ever permitted.Against a team representing our division in the championship game next week, a team that is very well coached on defense, without a doubt, you cant play much better than that, Lobos coach Bob Davie said.The Lobos scored their first three possessions, taking just 12 total plays in building a 21-0 lead, a deficit from which Wyoming never recovered.It was a rough night, said Wyoming coach Craig Bohl. I think we really need to give credit to New Mexico. They finished off on a high note. In particular, their offense was more troublesome than what we anticipated. Their numbers were true (Saturday). The speed of the game, we could never get caught up to that. Obviously it was something we need to prepare better for and we will.The Lobos didnt attempt their first pass until three minutes into the second quarter. They had already rolled up 262 rushing yards by that point.THE TAKEAWAY: New Mexico entered the game leading the country in rushing with 342 yards a game, but what it did to the Cowboys was downright ridiculous, reeling off 428 yards -- in the first half. The Lobos had 10 rushing plays of 20 or more yards -- in the first half.It was a ton of big plays, Bohl said. It was an abysmal defensive performance; Im not going to sugar coat it.New Mexico finished with 568 rushing yards and 690 yards of tootal offense.dddddddddddd dont think you can ask for much more offensively, Davie said. As we continue to go, weve got a pretty good answer for certain things.The Cowboys lost two of their final three games, sandwiching a win over then-No. 24 San Diego State between road losses to UNLV and the Lobos. Wyoming, New Mexico and Boise State tied for the lead of the conferences Mountain Division, but the Cowboys get the championship berth based on tiebreakers.STATS: With three touchdowns, McQuarley has 16 on the season, second most in school history.New Mexicos eight regular-season wins are its most since winning eight in 2007.Its a lot better waiting when you have eight wins, being 8-4, waiting to hear where were going to go, Davie said.UP NEXT: Although the Lobos have the possibility of going to one of several different bowl games, New Mexico coach Bob Davie has already lobbied for a berth in the hometown New Mexico Bowl.Id probably like to play in the New Mexico Bowl, he said at his weekly news conference. The thought of, if were bowl-eligible, somebody else playing in our stadium, somebody else using our locker room. ... I think the chance to play at home and win a game here, win a bowl game here (is preferable to going elsewhere).The Cowboys next play San Diego State in Saturdays conference championship game at a site still to be determined. Wyoming just beat the Aztecs 34-33 on Nov. 19.We didnt get it done and we need to get ready to play San Diego State in a short amount of time, Bohl said. What we have to do is get ready for an offense that is 180 degrees different and lick our wounds, well learn from this and move forward. Were playing for a championship and thats why we have to bounce back. ' ' '
