Hoping to keep the Pirates on the winning track tonight will be lefty Zach Duke, who is 4-5 with a 4.23 ERA. Duke was roughed up by the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, surrendering six runs (five earned) and seven hits in just 2 1/3 innings. However, he did not factor in the decision of that 11-6 loss. Duke lost to the Cards back on May 30 and is 2-3 lifetime against them with a 3.86 ERA in eight starts |

| New York, NY (Best E Casino) - Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria and Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Corey Hart were chosen by a record number of voters as the final two All-Stars on Thursday. Last season's record of 23.1 million votes more than doubled for this year's final 10 candidates. Longoria received a record nine million of the 47.8 million votes to become the second straight rookie from the American League to win the balloting, with Boston reliever Hideki Okajima owning the honor a year ago.

| Milwaukee, WI (Best E Casino) - Dave Bush struck out a career-high 13, and the Milwaukee Brewers pounded the Colorado Rockies, 11-1, to forge a split in a four-game set. "He threw a great game," said Brewers manager Ned Yost of Bush. "His stuff was crisp, and he was executing. His command was excellent. When you command your pitches, you throw the ball good." Ryan Braun went 2-for-5 and drove in three for the Brewers, who have won five of seven. J.J. Hardy hit a two-run homer and scored twice, and Gabe Kapler |

| (Best E Casino) - I was all prepared to write this column on what a great move it was by the Milwaukee Brewers to go out and get big lefty CC Sabathia, how it more than likely shifted the balance in the NL Central to their favor. Then, lo-and-behold, the Chicago Cubs answer with an ace-level acquisition of their own just a day later, picking up right-hander Rich Harden from the Oakland Athletics. Of course, the moves in question give the Brewers and Cubs perhaps the best 1-2 punches atop the rotation in the le |

| (Best E Casino) - The Milwaukee Brewers will try for a series split with the Colorado Rockies this afternoon, when the two ballclubs close out a four-game series at Miller Park. Milwaukee has lost two of the first three meetings with Colorado, including Wednesday's 8-3 setback that pushed the Brewers five games behind the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central. Ace Ben Sheets allowed five hits and three runs through six innings and absorbed the loss despite posting a season-high 11 K's. Sheets took the hill one day af |

One day after pulling off a trade to bolster their starting rotation, the Chicago Cubs turn to Carlos Zambrano in the second test of a three-game series with the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field. The Milwaukee Brewers, who trail the Cubs by four games in the division, acquired reigning AL Cy Young Award winner CC Sabathia on Monday, putting the pressure on the front-running Cubs.

The Indians, who traded ace CC Sabathia on Monday for three prospects and a player to be named later to the Milwaukee Brewers, started the post-Sabathia era with a bang. A two-out double by Casey Blake followed by Peralta's 14th home run of the season gave Cleveland a quick 2-0 lead in the first. But Verlander and the Detroit offense would be the story the rest of the way. |

But the move that made every headline, of course, was Monday's trade of reigning Cy Young Award winner C.C. Sabathia to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for four prospects. And so just like that, the focus in Cleveland has shifted from another deep playoff push, to the future. The Sabathia deal even prompted a letter from team President Paul Dolan, explaining the team's desire to "add ta |
