1-0

After one game, the Brewers are off to a sloppy, but winning, start. It took ten innings, but they put away the Cubs in a rainy afternoon battle. Starting pitching was outstanding for both clubs, as Ben Sheets pitched yet another early season masterpiece. The ace went 6.1 innings, striking out 7 and surrendering nothing. Ned Yost showed no hesitation in pulling Sheets in the 7th, however, after giving up a base hit. As good as the starting pitching was, the relief pitching was just as horrid. Eric Gagne blew a save in his first Brewers outing, while the Cubs' new closer Kerry Wood has his own 9th inning struggles. MVP of the game? Tony Gwynn Jr. Gwynn not only knocked in the winning run in the top of the tenth, he had two hits and a few nice plays out in center. If he can keep up this solid play, Brewers fans will be disappointed to see Mike Cameron manning center field.
