| |  | MILWAUKEE: MILWAUKEE (AP) - Two pitches into his spring training return, the Brewers' most important player tried to prove his point.
Home run, Ryan Braun.
Now let's see how he fares when the games count.
Bolstered by the return of Braun from a 65-game doping suspension and the signing of free-agent starter Matt Garza, Milwaukee enters the 2014 season hoping it has the pieces to contend again in the competitive NL Central.
Braun has vowed to return to his 2011 MVP form.
''I think the expectation is to have an opportunity to compete to get back to the playoffs. That's our goal, I think it's realistic,'' Braun said during spring training in Phoenix.
Staying healthy would help, too. Besides Braun's suspension, injuries sapped much of the Brewers' power last year with projected 3-4-5 hitters Braun, Aramis Ramirez and Corey Hart each missing various lengths of time. Hart never played because of a knee injury.
Hart is gone, but Braun and Ramirez are back and bolstered by new team cornerstones who emerged last season in Carlos Gomez, Jean Segura and Jonathan Lucroy.
| | ST LOUIS: ST. LOUIS (AP) - Last October, the St. Louis Cardinals were sufficiently flush with arms that they carried rookie Shelby Miller and deposed closer Edward Mujica in ceremonial roles and made it to Game 6 of the World Series against Boston.
After leading major league rookies with 15 wins, Miller was limited to one postseason inning due to concerns about a heavy workload. Mujica was used only in mop-up duty after mid-September.
The National League champions are perhaps even deeper, across the board, entering opening day March 31 at Cincinnati. The team that tied for the major league high with 97 wins has a surplus of viable candidates.
''I think we have the potential to be great,'' said ace Adam Wainwright, who won 19 games and finished second in NL Cy Young balloting. ''We just have to go out there, not listen to the hype, and perform.''
The 32-year-old Wainwright qualifies as the grizzled leader of a rotation that could include three members coming off big rookie debuts. Michael Wacha was a postseason sensation and the NLCS MVP, Miller went wire-to-wire as the fifth starter and Carlos Martinez, who's had an impressive spring, moved into the setup role when fellow rookie Trevor Rosenthal took over as closer.
Wacha and Martinez are 22, Miller and Rosenthal just 23.
There's also 15-game winner Lance Lynn, who struck out 10 in four innings of his last spring training start, and lefty Jaime Garcia could fit into the mix sometime in April coming off shoulder surgery. And don't forget Joe Kelly, another rookie who won 10 games and was the rotation's strongest starter much of the second half.
And one of the National League's best lineups, too.
Much is expected from a loyal fan base that extends several states, and that's OK.
''Our expectations,'' Lynn said, ''are higher than theirs.''

*Brewers-Cardinals Preview* ===========================
By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer
Milwaukee (79-72) at St. Louis (83-68), 8:15 p.m. EDT
After a dismal slump dropped them out of the NL Central lead and threatened their playoff chances altogether, the Milwaukee Brewers are back to playing the type of baseball that had them in first place for a majority of the season.
In order to gain more ground, Milwaukee likely will have to solve a pitcher who held it in check just 10 days ago.
The Brewers seek a sixth victory in seven games as they face Adam Wainwright and the division-leading St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night at Busch Stadium.
Milwaukee (79-72) held a 1 1/2-game edge in the Central on Aug. 25, then dropped 13 of 14 before its current run. It sits four games back of St. Louis in the division after beating the Cardinals 3-2 in 12 innings Tuesday, and it remained 1 1/2 behind Pittsburgh for the second wild card after the Pirates beat Boston 4-0.
Carlos Gomez walked and stole the next two bases before scoring on Hector Gomez's bloop hit in the 12th.
"We're playing like it's the playoffs right now and I think that's what we need," Carlos Gomez said. "Nobody told us it was going to be easy. We have to fight for it."
The Cardinals (83-68) had their three-game winning streak snapped after being shut out for the final 11 innings. They'll look to bounce back behind Wainwright (18-9, 2.56 ERA), who can tie for the major league lead in wins.
Wainwright dominated the Brewers on Sept. 7 and needed only 100 pitches to toss a complete game in a 9-1 victory. He followed that by winning his third straight start Friday, allowing one run in eight innings of a 5-1 win over Colorado.
Things weren't going so well for the right-hander prior to those outings. He allowed a season worst-tying seven runs in 5 1-3 innings of a 7-4 loss to Milwaukee on Aug. 1, beginning a stretch during which he went 3-4 with a 5.28 ERA in seven starts before beating the Brewers.
"When I'm cruising, I'm ahead in the count, throwing all my pitches for strikes, trusting my defense and pounding the bottom of the zone," Wainwright said. "So, doing those things, usually things work out right."
Wainwright also beat Milwaukee 10-2 on July 12, giving up two runs in seven innings.
He's had some trouble with a couple of the Brewers, though, as Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez each are 4 for 9 against him this season. Ramirez is hitting .411 with three homers and eight doubles off Wainwright in his career.
Milwaukee counters with Mike Fiers (6-2, 1.84), who will be making his first start since being involved in an unfortunate incident.
Fiers improved to 6-1 with a 1.74 ERA in seven starts since being recalled from the minors Aug. 9 after allowing three hits in five scoreless innings of a 4-2 win over Miami on Thursday.
The right-hander, though, hit Giancarlo Stanton during his final inning and the Marlins slugger suffered facial fractures. Reed Johnson pinch-hit for Stanton, and Fiers hit him on the very next pitch. In an odd twist, umpires ruled both players had swung at the pitches that hit them and Fiers got out of the inning before the benches cleared.
"You never think of throwing at somebody like that. Never in my life has that happened," Fiers said. "I just feel very, very sad that I hit him. I'm sorry to their teammates, their fans, his family. It is just tough."
Prior to that outing, Fiers gave up two runs in 6 2-3 innings of a 6-2 win over the Cardinals on Sept. 5. He's 2-0 with a 1.31 ERA in three starts and two relief appearances in his career against St. Louis.
