MILWAUKEE, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Adam Wainwright picked up his major league-leading 18th victory Wednesday while leading St. Louis to a 5-1 win over Milwaukee and a three-game sweep.

Wainwright (18-7) yielded five hits in seven scoreless innings with a walk and six strikeouts.

After Wainwright threw 98 pitches, relievers Trever Miller, Jason Motte, Dennys Reyes and Kyle McClellan finished the six-hitter.

Albert Pujols led the way with three hits -- including two homers, one a two-run shot, and three RBI.

Colby Rasmus had two hits and one RBI, while Matt Holliday added a sacrifice fly for the Cardinals, who have won 10 of 12.

Milwaukee's lone run scored on an eighth-inning homer by Felipe Lopez.

Five others had one hit each for the Brewers, who have lost seven of nine.
