Impressive 3 game sweep of the Giants complete. Too bad the Brewers have won 6 in a row to maintain their big division lead.
1) Johnny Cueto. The only pitcher on the team with any complete games this year got his third, and amazingly this is the first one in the win column. The previous two were 8-inning complete game losses (2-1 and 1-0 thanks to pathetic offense). Today's line: only 5 base-runners (1 by error) and 2 of them got erased by double plays. 6 strikeouts, 1 walk. And he continues to induce ground balls like never before. 11 of them today.
2) Joey Votto. Got the first RBI of the game, and then three more for good measure with his blast in the 7th. 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored as well.
3) Drew Stubbs. 4 for 5 (only one strikeout!) and set the table at the beginning (scored the first run), middle (scored the 5th run) and end (scored the 9th run) of the game.
4) Edgar Renteria. Followed Stubbs onto the paths with singles of his own a couple times, walked once, and scored all three times on base.
Honorable mention: Todd Frazier for his first career home run.
