Box Score
For a good portion of the season the performance of Zack Greinke did not make any sense. He was striking out a lot of batters, walking very few batters, and giving up a lot of runs. Since the All-Star break, the results of Greinke's starts have matched his true performance.
Tonight Greinke looked every bit like the Cy Young winner the Brewers traded for and the offense steadily scored runs en route to another victory over the Pirates at Miller Park. The Crew's dominance over Pittsburgh at Miller Park will be put to the test tomorrow when Marco Estrada takes the mound in place of Chris Narveson, but for the time being it's best to enjoy the win.
Also of note: Governor Scott Walker visited the booth tonight in the early innings of the game. I did not catch the interview and I do not have any interest in talking politics on this blog. However, I do believe that the Brewers' strong performance thus far this season is important for Wisconsin. Whether you're Democrat, Republican, Green Party, Tea Party, Union, or Anti-Union, the Brewers have provided a common ground for everyone in Wisconsin to agree on. Even though the Brewers are just a baseball team, they also give people a reason to set aside their differences and root for the same thing. Hopefully the Brewers will win the division and make a run at the pennant, because the longer they provide a common ground, the better.
