W: Suppan (8-7)
The Brewers won their 7th straight game and once again are placing some heat on the Cubs. Milwaukee is now 3 games back of first place Chicago and leads the wild card race by 4 games.
The team has had no difficulty lately beating the crappy teams in the National League. Yesterday, Jeff Suppan performed his best C. C. Sabathia impersonation, coming close to a complete game. He pitched 8 innings and gave up only 2 runs on 4 hits. That was more than enough for the Brewer’s offense.
Mike Cameron and Prince Fielder both homered to lead the scoring.
