Welcome back to the NL Central race Milwaukee!!! The folks in Miller Park were treated to a massive blowout last night as their beloved Brewers took the Cardinals out behind the woodshed and handed them a 9-1 beat down. The beer was flowing, Bernie Brewer got a ton of work in, the Polish won the mascot race, and many a Cheesehead went home happy with a belly full of brats and Old Style. It doesn’t get much better than that!!!
The victory also inched the Brew Crew a game closer to the division leading Cubs, and they only sit two games back coming into Game 2. That being said, tonight just might be a different story. Brad Thompson will take the bump for the visitors and the Cardinals have won 11 of his 16 starts on the year. He’s coming off a brilliant outing that saw him go 6 innings vs. Houston surrendering 4 hits and a lone earned run. STL went on to win that game 7-4. He and the Cardinals will be hoping his second go round against Milwaukee is better than his first stint back in July. He got lit up that day surrendering 7 hits and 4 ER’s while striking out 2 and walking 4 in just 3 innings of work. As long as he keeps his stuff down in the zone and has his sinker working, he should be able to put forth another quality start.
Carlos Villanueva has been a blessing for Manager Ned Yost as he’s filled in admirably for the injured Ben Sheets. The Brewers have won four of his five starts this season, and he’s coming off a solid effort that saw him go 6 innings against Atlanta in the Brewers 4-1 victory last Friday night. He’s mostly been in the bullpen this season, but he’s got starter stuff. Since joining the starting rotation, he’s 2-1 with a 1.50 ERA and opponents are hitting a measly .218 off him. He saw the Cardinals twice at the end of last season, and the Brewers managed to win both of those games.
St. Louis is a figment of itself from a year ago, and the Brewers hold a solid advantage over them throughout the rest of this series. I’d be shocked if St. Louis was able to win a game in this series let alone tonight. There’s a reason they’ve been installed as 170+ underdogs.
SLAM YOUR MAN!!!
