Brewing victories

Milwaukee's got some good karma (or maybe just good players) after all their recent deals.

CC Sabathia had it humming in St. Louis tonight. Sabathia held the third-place Cardinals to three hits in a complete game 3-0 shutout. The win pulls Milwaukee within a half-game of the Cubs and one back in the loss column. The Brewers have won seven straight. The can sweep the Cardinals in four straight at Busch on Thursday, and the pitching match up is in Milwaukee's favor with Ben Sheets facing Todd Wellemeyer.

JJ Hardy homered for the 14th time while Ryan Braun hit his 25th off of Jason Isringhausen to start the ninth. The Brewers got hot at the start of 2007 but faded down the stretch. They're working in reverse to this point in 2008.
