New York, NY (Best E Casino) - Major League Baseball announced Wednesday that CC Sabathia's controversial one-hitter from Sunday's 7-0 Milwaukee win in Pittsburgh will stand.

Sabathia held the Pirates hitless for the first four innings, but Andy LaRoche led off the bottom of the fifth with an infield single. The Pittsburgh third baseman hit a slow roller down the third-base line and Sabathia bobbled it, allowing LaRoche to reach first for the home team's lone hit of the game.

The Brewers sent a DVD and a written explanation to Major League Baseball protesting the scorer's ruling in an attempt to get the call changed. If the play wound up being called an error, Sabathia would have recorded the second no-hitter in franchise history.

Major League Baseball's scoring review committee convened Wednesday to review evidence submitted by the Brewers and held an extensive and constructive discussion after viewing footage of the play in question.

MLB announced the decision was that the judgment of the scorer was not "clearly erroneous," which is the standard set forth in official scoring rule 10.01(a), and thus did not meet the criteria for a league reversal of the call made by official scorer Bob Webb.

"Major League Baseball appreciates the work that official scorers do throughout the season," said Phyllis Merhige, MLB's senior vice president for club relations. "Bob Webb is a 20-year veteran scorer who is held in high regard. This play is a reminder of the difficult decisions that official scorers face."

As a consolation, Sabathia was tabbed the National League Pitcher of the Month for August on Wednesday. The bulky left-hander, who was 5-0 with a 1.12 earned run average, led the NL in ERA and innings pitched with 48 1/3 and was tied with teammate Jeff Suppan for the league-lead with five victories and tied for second with 51 strikeouts. For the season, Sabathia is 15-8 with a 2.82 ERA and 208 strikeouts in 210 1/3 innings pitched. Since joining the Brewers, he is a perfect 9-0 with a 1.43 ERA and 85 strikeouts in 88 innings pitched.

"We appreciate the opportunity offered by the league to have plays reviewed," said Brewers general manager Doug Melvin. "While we had hoped for a different outcome, we understand that an official scorer's role is very difficult. We thank Major League Baseball and the committee for taking the time to consider our request, and we continue to move forward with a focus on winning games down the stretch."
