John Axford's 48th consecutive save was a strange one. The game ended with a strike-'em-out, throw-'em-out -- at the plate. The St. Louis Cardinals had runners on first and third with none out in the ninth inning but came up empty against the Milwaukee Brewers' closer. Axford got a big assist from his fielders, who foiled a double steal while finishing a 3-2 victory Sunday that avoided a three-game sweep.
