Brewers Get It Done

For the first time in 26 years the Milwaukee baseball nation can celebrate as their Brewers clinched their wild card berth this past Sunday in a 3-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Carrying the load? C.C. Sabathia. The man who has been the workhorse for the Brewers as of late was more than willing (and definitely more than capable) of carrying Milwaukee into the postseason. Perhaps it was his most impressive Brewers performance ever, and that’s saying a lot considering the recent outings he’s had (i.e. the disputable no hitter). Starting for the 3rd consecutive time after only three days rest, Sabathia pitched a full game, with 122 pitches, 7 strikeouts, and allowed only 1 unearned run on 4 hits. With the help of a 2-run shot by Ryan Braun in the 8th, the Brewers did their part to make it to the playoffs. They only had to wait another 30 minutes to watch as the Mets lost to Florida, thereby securing the Brewers’ wild card berth. When the first series starts on October 1, Sabathia will probably not take the mound. He will, however, definitely be utilized at some point in the series, most likely as soon as he’s ready.
