MILWAUKEE — Chris Carpenter kept throwing strike after strike. Mostly unhittable ones.

Carpenter pitched a one-hitter, allowing only a clean double to Jody Gerut in the fifth inning, and struck out 10 as St. Louis beat Milwaukee 3-0 Monday.

"Unless it's a certain situation late in the ballgame, or you have a chance to lose the game, or change the game, I'm going to come after you," Carpenter said. "I'm not wasting pitches.

"I'm trying to get strike one, strike two and strike three as fast as I can, or get you to put the ball in play and let my guys work behind you," he said.

Carpenter (16-3) did just that. He won his 11th straight decision and leads the majors with a 2.16 ERA. He needed 99 pitches to throw his first shutout in three years.

Carpenter matched the best game of his career, having pitched a one-hitter in 2005 for St. Louis against Toronto. He walked two. By Associated Press
