PHILADELPHIA (AP) - CC Sabathia has made his
last four starts on three days' rest. His next outing could come on
six months' rest.
The Philadelphia Phillies have a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five
National League Division Series after scoring five times off
Sabathia in the second inning of a 5-2 triumph over the Milwaukee
Brewers. Shane Victorino had the big blow against Sabathia, a grand
slam that snapped a one-all tie.
Sabathia was reached for five runs and six hits in three and
two-thirds. The lefty gave up only two earned runs over 21 and
two-thirds innings over his final three starts of the regular
season.
Brett Myers was sensational after allowing a bases-loaded walk
to J.J. Hardy in the top of the first. Myers allowed only two hits
in seven innings, Ryan Braun's double in the first and Hardy's
two-bagger in the seventh.
Brad Lidge worked a perfect ninth for his second save in two
games.
The Phillies are just a win away from their first NLCS
appearance since 1993. The Brewers will try to stay alive when they
host the Phils Saturday.
