| Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pirates (65-93) | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
| Brewers (87-71) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | - | 4 | 2 | 0 |
W: Sabathia (16-10)
Both the Brewers and the Mets collapsed at the end of last season. It’s funny how both have done so again this year. The only real difference is that this year, one of the teams will make the playoffs.
C. C. Sabathia started for the Brewers on short rest, but rest is not something Sabathia needs. That’s something required for lesser pitchers. He scoffs at the notion of rest. And of not injuring himself and losing the biggest free-agent jackpot of ever.
But I digress. Sabathia handled the Pirates, allowing just 1 run over 7 innings. He struck out 11, as well.
The win brought the Brewers back into a wild card tie with the New York Mets, who fell to the Chicago Cubs. There are 4 games left for both teams, so this should stay interesting.
