St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Hector Gomez scored the game-tying run in the ninth, then knocked in the winning run in the 12th to lift the Milwaukee Brewers over the NL Central-leading St. Louis Cardinals, 3-2, on Tuesday.

The Cardinals sent Kevin Siegrist (1-4) to the mound in the 12th. Carlos Gomez walked and swiped two bases before scoring on Hector Gomez's bloop single to shallow right field.

Aramis Ramirez doubled and Gerardo Parra was intentionally walked to load the bases with one out. Matt Clark hit a fly ball to left and Hector Gomez beat the throw home to tie the game.
