Saturday's game had the same look and feel that Friday's game did. Brewers Co-Ace Ben Sheets took the mound against Tim Redding of the Washionals (yes I know i spelled it wrong, that is what i like to call them). Ben was on his A game, and was trying to match CC Sabathia's outing the night before. The Brewers were providing some support at the plate. Ray Durham hit his first home run in a Brewers uniform. JJ Hardy followed with his 17th and Corey Hart added his 17th in the 5th inning. Ben Sheets was getting the job done at the plate when he singled in Jason Kendall for his 5th RBI of the year. Yes, Ben Sheets has 5 RBI's already, what a clutch hitter. Ben would not need much in the form of run support because he was doing his best CC Sabathia impression as Benny went the distance allowing no runs. Ben earned the complete game shut out, striking out 6 batters and only giving up 5 hits. To top it all off, the Cubs lost to the Cardinals, what a good day.
Most Valuable Brewer: Ben Sheets for his work on the mound and his wonderful work at the plate. I embellished a little on the hitting skills, but we all know Benny would want it that way. It feels good to give this award to a starting pitcher 2 days in a row, let's hope we can make a habit of this.
