He scattered six hits and allowed a single earned run in his most recent victory, an 8-2 defeat of the Milwaukee Brewers on July 12 at Miller Park. The six-foot, 200-pounder has won at least three games in each full month of the season so far, posting a 4-0 mark in April and 3-2 and 3-1 slates in May and June, respectively. He's 2-0 so far in four July starts, surrend |

I was all prepared to write a column this week on what a great job the St. Louis Cardinals were doing. Even though the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers both acquired bona fide front-of-the-line starters, making it a foregone conclusion in some people's eyes that they would be the teams fighting it out for a division title, here were the Cardinals still hanging around in the NL Central.

| St. Louis, MO (Best E Casino) - Veteran outfielder Jay Gibbons is finally on the path back to the big leagues, after signing a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers. The 31-year-old Gibbons hit 121 home runs during eight seasons with the Orioles, but a power drop in recent years, capped by an awful 2007 in which Gibbons hit .230 with six homers and 28 runs batted in 84 games, led the Orioles to release him in March. Gibbons was one of the players mentioned in former Sen. George Mitchell's report on perf |

He kept the Brewers in the game against a tremendous performance from Lohse, allowing the Brewers to achieve a come-from-behind 4-3 win. Suppan was placed on the DL July 7 |

The team will be counting on another big outing from the right-hander when it continues a crucial four-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers tonight at Busch Stadium. These division rivals are presently tied for the top spot in the National League Wild Card standings, and both teams trail the first-place Chicago Cubs by just two games in the NL Central race.
