ST. LOUIS -- Brian Elliott got a warm welcome in his old home.Elliott stopped 23 shots in his return to St. Louis, Johnny Gaudreau and Sam Bennett each had a goal and an assist and the Calgary Flames beat the Blues 4-1 on Tuesday night.I had so much fun playing in front of these fans and in this building that I wanted to do it again even though its with another team, Elliott said. The guys did a heck of a job in front of me to get that win for me.Elliott was traded from St. Louis to Calgary in June, and the 17,337 in attendance serenaded him with chants of Moose, his nickname, on his first couple of saves.I knew how much the fans kind of loved that. It was special for me hearing that and really kind of got me into the game and have that feeling a little bit, Elliott said.

After winning their first three games, the Blues are 1-2-1 in their last four.The Blues werent surprised by Elliotts effort.He was great tonight, but we didnt make it too hard on him either, Shattenkirk said. Hes too good of a goalie to not have traffic in front of him, to not have grade-A scoring chances. We didnt really do anything to make him uncomfortable.Widemans power-play goal early in the first ended a string of 19 straight penalty kills for the Blues. Wideman gave the Flames the 1-0 lead after former Blue Troy Brouwer won the puck along the boards and found Wideman alone in the slot.Engelland added to the lead midway through the first after Kris Versteeg sent him in alone on Hutton with a pass. The play started after Vladimir Tarasenko whiffed on a shot on the other end, sending the Flames in on an odd-man rush.Bennetts wrist shot went in through a maze of traffic early in the second to give Calgary a 3-0 lead. Bennett had an assist on Engellands goal, giving him his second multipoint game of the season, both against St. Louis.The game was also a homecoming for Calgarys Matthew Tkachuk, son of former Blue Keith Tkachuk, who had an assist on Bennetts goal. Matthew Tkachuk, the 6th overall pick by the Flames, was one of four St. Louis area natives taken in the first round of this years amateur draft.It was fun, Matthew Tkachuk said. Kind of an eye-opening experience too with the play and the rink you kind of grew up in, so its great to get the win.

MILWAUKEE -- For a brief moment, the whole game was waiting on Carlos Gomez. The crowd roared as the Milwaukee Brewers looked toward centre field in amazement and Gomez hopped around in front of the wall. When he flipped his glove open as he ran toward the infield, it was over. Gomez robbed Joey Votto of a potential go-ahead homer with a spectacular catch for the final out, saving the Brewers 4-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night. "When you save the game like that or when you hit a walk-off home run, its amazing," Gomez said. "I never hit one, but I steal home run to win the game. Its something special, like you cant wait to get home to see it over and over." Jonathan Lucroy homered for the third consecutive game for last-place Brewers, who had dropped three of four. Jean Segura had three hits off Homer Bailey in the right-handers first start since his second career no-hitter. But Gomez made the biggest play of the game when he used a perfectly timed jump to grab Vottos drive, sending a charge through the crowd on an otherwise sleepy night at Miller Park. The dramatic conclusion came after pinch-hitter Derrick Robinson walked with two outs. Votto made an appeal to see the ball in Gomezs glove while he celebrated in the outfield, and sure enough, it was there. "The whole thing is really a random occurrence and its what makes baseball so special," Votto said. "Carlos has had a fantastic year this year. Today he didnt have a good game offensively and he goes out and makes a game-changing play on the defensive end. "You know, I did everything I could, and he made a great play." Kyle Lohse (5-6) pitched into the seventh inning for his fourth consecutive winning decision. Bailey was coming off an absolute gem at home against San Francisco last Tuesday night, when he struck out nine and allowed just one baserunner on a seventh-inning walk. The impressive performance in the Reds 3-0 victory gave Bailey a chance to become the second pitcher in major league history to throw consecutive no-hitters. That opening was slammed shut in the first inning. Segura dumped a 1-2 pitch into right field for a base hit with one out. He then stole second and went to third on a throwing error by catcher Devin Mesoraco before Lucroy hit his 11th homer to give the Brewers a 2-1 lead. "It was just one of those days," Bailey said. "Just never could find a rhythm." Segura added an RBI double in the second and an infield hit in the fifth. The All-Star shortstop reached base four times and leads the NL with 113 hits. Chris Heisey hit a solo homer for Cincinnati, which has lost three of four since taking three in a row against the Giants. Jay Bruce and pinch hitter Xavier Paul each had an RBI single. Bailey (5-7) was replaced by Logan Ondrusek after he hit Segura with a pitch with two outs in the sixth.dddddddddddd He allowed a season-high 10 hits and walked three. "He got out of some tough jams," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. Lohse was pulled after he allowed singles to three of the first four batters in the seventh. Heisey was erased when Mesoraco grounded into a double play, but pinch hitter Cesar Izturis and Shin-Soo Choo singled to put runners on the corners. John Axford came in and surrendered Pauls run-scoring hit to make it 4-3, but he bounced back to strike out Votto, limiting the damage. "We dont win them easy," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. Lohse was charged with three runs and nine hits. The righty improved to 4-0 with a 2.37 ERA in his past eight starts. Jim Henderson worked the eighth and Francisco Rodriguez finished for his ninth save in nine chances and No. 303 for his career, tying Doug Jones for 22nd on the major league list. Rodriguez had his left arm over his head and his right hand on the brim of his cap as he walked around in disbelief after Gomezs game-ending grab. "Hes so athletic and explosive," Lohse said of Gomez. "You just see him get good reads. Its pretty fun to watch." Milwaukee got Ryan Braun back from the disabled list, but he did not play in the Brewers second win in seven games against Cincinnati this season. Braun, who had been out with a bruised right thumb, took batting practice for the second straight day and could return to the lineup on Tuesday. While the 2011 NL MVP returned to the active roster, third baseman Aramis Ramirez went back on the DL again with a nagging left knee injury. Mesoraco got the start behind the plate for Cincy after Baker said Ryan Hanigan was dealing with soreness, declining to elaborate. But Mesoraco has a back issue and appeared to be playing hurt, grounding out with runners on first and second to end the eighth. "Hes a tough guy," Baker said. "I dont know what were going to do tomorrow. I dont know if hes going to be all right or not."
