Pittsburgh was swept in three games by Milwaukee to close August, a month in which the club went just 7-21. Pittsburgh managed just one hit off Brewers ace CC Sabathia on Sunday in a 7-0 loss, a slow roller down the third-bas |

Sabathia struck out 11 batters and allowed one hit, a controversial infield single by Andy LaRoche, to improve to 9-0 with Milwaukee.

| (MySportsbook) - Big southpaw CC Sabathia can continue what has been a remarkable run of National League dominance today, when the Milwaukee Brewers close out a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. A 6-foot-7, 290-pounder, Sabathia was a disappointing 6-8 in 18 starts with the Cleveland Indians before a midseason trade brought him to Milwaukee for a myriad prospects. Sabathia has been nothing short of sensational since, however, going 8-0 with a stingy 1.89 earned run average over 10 s |
