| Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brewers (0-2) | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 0 |
| Phillies (2-0) | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | - | 5 | 9 | 1 |
W: Myers (1-0)
I guess C. C. Sabathia is human, after all. In his 4th start on short rest, he wasn’t nearly as dominating as he had been previously for the Brewers. Sabathia lasted only 3 2/3 innings, allowing 5 earned runs, while striking out 5.
The bullpen came in and shut the Phillies down, but Brett Myers was too good and 5 runs was too much.
Now Milwaukee finds themselves facing elimination via a sweep. They have a day off between games. I think they should start Sabathia again.
