Wednesday, the Brewers hoped to avoid the sweep at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds. CC Sabathia took the hill and tried to be the Brewers savior once again. CC was dominating early. He was striking out Reds. He gave up a few hits here and there, but never was in real trouble. in the 5th inning with the Brewers ahead 1-0, CC found himself in his first real jam and gave up a 3 run homer to Jerry Hairston. CC would pitch through the 7th inning and leave with the Brewers still trailing 3-1. The Brewers added a run in the 7th. The Brewers finally got going in the 8th inning. With bases loaded and no outs, Tony Gywnn Jr. grounded into a double play scoring JJ Hardy. Mike Cameron then singled to score Ryan Braun and give the Brewers a 4-3 lead. Salomon Torres came on and struck out the side, preserving the win for the Crew. The Brewers got a much needed win and hope to keep things going as they start a series with the Phillies on Thursday.
Most Valuable Brewer: CC Sabathia pitched 7 innings, gave 3 runs on 8 hits, and struck out 8 batters. CC also went 1-2 at the plate with an RBI. The Brewers are now 12-1 when CC Sabathia is the starting pitcher. Not a bad deal for the Brewers.
