Brewers vs Braves Game 2, August 2nd

Fresh off of their win Friday night the Brewers sent CC Sabathia to the mound on Saturday. CC gave up a run in the first, but he was spot on from there. As the game went on and on CC appeared to only be getting stronger. CC was making a bid at his 4th complete game as a Milwaukee Brewer. Meanwhile, Prince Fielder, who had homered in each of the last 3 games, extended his homer streak to 4. Prince went yard not once, but twice. Once in the 7th, a solo shot, then again in the 8th a 2-run shot. Prince all of a sudden has 25 home runs on the season, and is coming into his own at the plate. CC was unable to go the distance in this one as he threw 109 pitches in 8 1/3rd innings and struck out 9. CC gave up 2 runs, but that was all he needed. Salomon Torres came on in relief of Sabathia to record his 21st save of the season.

Most Valuable Brewer: Prince Fielder, CC very easily could have been the MVB, but Prince has been the only offense the Brewers have had in the past 4 days. Prince is started to be the leader we need on the field and carry this team on his back. Let's give Prince some help Boys!!!
