Pirates vs Brewers Game 2, August 23rd

Believe it or not the Milwaukee Brewers are 20 games over .500! Jeff Suppan turned in a solid performance on Saturday night, going 7 innings and only giving up 3 runs. The Brewers gave Suppan some run support early, when they scored 2 runs in the first inning. Ryan Braun hit a solo home run in the 4th, and he added a 2 run double in the 5th. The Brewers were off to an early 6-0 lead. Suppan gave up 2 runs in the 6th, and one run in the 8th. Brian Shouse finished off the 8th inning and Salomon Torres recorded his 25th save in the 9th inning. The Brewers aded another game to their Wild Card led on the Cardinals, and kept pace with the Cubs with their win Saturday night. CC Sabathia is pitching on Sunday, so break out those brooms.

Most Valuable Brewer: Surprise, Surprise, Ryan Braun! Brauny went 2-4 with a home run (32), a double, 2 runs scored, and 3 RBI's. Not a bad day if you ask me. He also has his batting average up to .302.
