Astros vs Brewers Game 1, August 18th

The B-52 Bomber, CC Sabathia once again took the hill for the Brewers, and once again he was lights out. This is the type of return Doug Melvin and company was hoping for when they traded top prospect Matt LaPorta in July for Sabathia. Sabathia went and dominated the game for all 9 innings. Sabathia gave up 11 hits over the innings, but surrender only 2 earned runs, 3 runs total. Sabathia also helped his own cause at the plate. He went 2-3 with 2 RBI's and scored a run. Ray Durham had a nice game at the plate, going 3-5 with 3 RBI's. Corey Hart also continued to stay hot as he went 3-4 with 2 RBIS, scoring 2 runs and hitting his 19th home run of the year. The Brewers cruised to an easy 9-3 victory.

Most Valuable Brewer: CC Sabathia, got it done from the mound and at the plate. I am starting to have dreams about Sabathia pitching in a Brewers uniform next year.
