Box Score
Good things happen when you score more than one run.
Zack Greinke looked very sharp against tonight as evidenced by his nine strikeouts and zero walks in six innings. How many pitchers can paint the black with a 94-mph fastball and flip a 65-mph curveball out of nowhere? He's as fun to watch as anybody in the majors.
You know who's not as fun to watch? Yuniesky Betancourt. But you would not know that after the game tonight. He was involved in one of the most incredible double plays I have ever seen. You can watch the play here. Oddly enough, this is not the first time Betancourt has made an unbelievable defensive play. If you recall, earlier in the season he did this. A great thing about professional sports is that even the worst (a relative term if there ever was one) players are capable of amazing things.
Moving on, the offense was solid. They were able to both get a lead and tack on insurance runs, which it turned out they needed. The lesson here: the Brewers will win a lot of games (or at least be worth watching) if they can consistently score 3-5 runs. Hopefully they read this blog and will do this, if for no other reason than to make me happy.
