Sabathia wins in debut for Brewers
C.C. Sabathia was by no means dominant in his debut for the Milwaukee Brewers, but he was good enough to earn his 1st victory with his new team. Sabathia pitched 6 innings, allowing 5 hits, 5 walks and 2 earned runs while striking out 5 against the Colorado Rockies as his new teammates helped him to a 7-3 victory. Sabathia came over from a trade with the Cleveland Indians on Monday where he was 7-8 with an ERA of 3.79 and had 128 strikeouts in 128.1 innings pitched. The former Cleveland ace will be switched from the last place Indians to a Milwaukee Brewers team that is in the NL Central and in the hunt for a pennant.
