| (MySportsbook) - The Milwaukee Brewers acquired CC Sabathia to help them reach the postseason for the first time since 1982. The free-falling club will throw their co-ace out on short rest this afternoon in the second test of a three-game series with the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. The Brewers, who stumbled in the second half of last season en route to missing the playoff, led the National League wild-card race by 5 1/2 games entering September. However, Milwaukee has gone just 4-14 this mont |

| (MySportsbook) - With some degree of certainty, I can say that one of these three teams - the New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers - is going to miss the postseason. If you are asking me which of the three that is going to be, well, ask me again next Sunday when the last pitch of the regular season is thrown. I have given up trying to figure out how the NL is going to shake out, specifically which team is going to be the wild card winner. After what happened on Thursday, though, I am jus |

The Brewers began September with a 5 1/2-game lead in the race for the Wild Card, but have gone just 4-13 so far in the month. Milwaukee has lost six of its most recent seven |

The Brewers led 6-2 with two outs and the bases empty in the ninth, but still suffered a stomach punch of a loss as their September swoon continued.

| Chicago, IL (MySportsbook) - The Milwaukee Brewers have not scratched pitcher Ben Sheets from his next scheduled start, but his status for the rest of the season is uncertain after he again left a start early on Wednesday, this time with an aching right elbow. A Thursday story on MLB.com revealed that Sheets has been receiving treatment for pain in his right elbow since an August 24 start against St. Louis. The injury forced Sheets to leave after just two innings in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Chicago Cubs. |

| RBI single in the ninth was the only offense for the Braves, who have dropped three of four. Hamels, meanwhile, gets the call tonight for Philadelphia and will be trying for his fourth win in his last five decisions.

The 24-year-old left-hander is 2-0 with a 2.11 ERA in three starts against Atlanta this season. For his |
