The Milwaukee Brewers managed a mere two hits on Wednesday evening, but manufactured four runs. Of course, that was all CC Sabathia needed. Pitching on 3-days rest for the 2nd straight game, the beast of a lefty hurled a magnificent, gutsy, and “whatever other good adjective you can think to add” game. His line: 7.0 innings pitched, 1 earned run, 4 hits, and 11 strikeouts. He picked up his 10th Brewer win, but he will have a chance to go after number 11 on Sunday, should the Wild Card race still be going on. Prince Fielder drove in Mike Cameron in the 4th to tie the game 1-1, but it took a bases loaded walk from Rickie Weeks, who was down 1-2 before taking a couple tough pitches from Paul Maholm, to put the Crew in front. Jason Kendall followed suit, walking in 5 pitches to expand the lead. A sac fly from Corey Hart made it 4-1 in the 6th. Eric Gange worked a scoreless 8th, and Salomon Torres finished things off for his 28th save. He did give up a solo home run to Adam LaRoche. Oh yeah, and the Mets lost in extras, meaning the Brewers are tied for the Wild Card lead!
