"A Miller Park Masterpiece!!" were the words that resonated in Brewers fans everywhere as they watched the game end on Saturday night. In one of the best pitching match ups of the year, Ben Sheets took the mound against Jake Peavy. Both pitchers came out and showed everyone why people associate their names with the word "ACE." The Brewers were able to grab a 1-0 lead in the 3rd inning when Prince Fielder doubled in Ryan Braun. This was the only run that Peavy would surrender as he pitched 7 strong innings giving up only the 1 run and striking out 5. As well as Peavy pitched, Sheets was better. ben Would go the distance and try to record his 3rd complete game shut out of the year. Ben took gave up only 3 hits in the first 8 innings, but gave up 2 hits in the 9th and found himself in trouble with 2 on and 2 out. Benny was able to work his way out of it and induce a ground ball to 2nd base and the game was over. According to the Brewers TV announcers, Ben Sheets was just pitched a Miller Park Masterpiece! Nicely said and nicely done.
Most Valuable Brewer: Ben Sheets, see above for reason why.
