Milwaukee Brewers shortstop David Hamilton (6) grounds out, St. Louis Cardinals second baseman JJ Wetherholt (26) to St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Alec Burleson (41), during the sixth inning of the game on Wednesday May 27, 2026 at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
May took a no-hitter into the eighth inning before Milwaukee rallied for two runs and scored the winning run in a 2-1 victory on an error by Masyn Winn.
The Cardinals taking issue with how “demonstrative” Milwaukee was relaying information from the dugout, then confronting the Brewers, is the apparent genesis of reliever Abner Uribe’s emphatic and vulgar gesture.
