Fielder's late hit pushes Brewers past Bucs

Baseball Betting Lines

07/05/2008 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Prince Fielder's RBI single in the bottom of the ninth lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to a 2-1 win over Pittsburgh in the second of three games with the Pirates.

Tyler Yates took the mound for Pittsburgh going into the home ninth, and gave up a walk to Rickie Weeks to lead off. J.J. Hardy then popped up a bunt, but it fell in front of the mound to advance Weeks to second.

After Yates intentionally walked Ryan Braun, Fielder laced a single to shallow left-center field to plate Weeks and end the game.

Yates (3-2) took the loss for Pittsburgh, while Eric Gagne (2-2) got the win for tossing a scoreless top of the ninth. The final inning decided a game in which each starting pitcher was brilliant.

For Milwaukee, Dave Bush allowed one run on four hits in eight innings, while striking out seven and walking none. Meanwhile, for the Pirates, Paul Maholm also surrendered one run on four hits, struck out six and walked one through eight innings of work. Neither, though, got a decision.

Mike Cameron hit a solo homer, while Fielder finished with two hits for Milwaukee, which has won the first two games of this series and four of five overall. Hardy went 0-for-3, snapping his 16-game hitting streak.

Jose Bautista doubled and drove in the only run for Pittsburgh, which has lost four of six.

Cameron got Milwaukee on the scoreboard in the second, when he drove a two-out pitch over the fence in right-center field for a 1-0 Brewers lead.

But the Pirates were able to plate the equalizer in the fifth. Adam LaRoche and Bautista led off the frame with consecutive doubles to center, pushing one run across. Bautista went to third on his double, on a Weeks throwing error, but was stranded there at the Pirates left the game tied, 1-1.

Game Notes

It was the fourth time this season Maholm has thrown eight or more innings, and just the second time for Bush...On Saturday the Pirates optioned pitcher Tom Gorzelanny to Triple-A Indianapolis. The lefty has a 6-7 record and 6.57 earned-run average in 17 starts this season...Milwaukee's Jeff Suppan (5-6, 4.30 ERA) and Pittsburgh's Zach Duke (4-5, 3.88) are scheduled to start Sunday's finale.

Big Ten Conference odds

Teams that should be in: Michigan State, Indiana
Work left to do: Illinois, Purdue, Michigan, Iowa

Behind the big two, the pecking order might be in a bit of flux. Has Michigan State passed Indiana after handling the Hoosiers in East Lansing? Where is Illinois in that mix? What looked like a four-big league last week could be morphing into five -- and even six is not unthinkable at this point if everything breaks right.

Should be in:

Michigan State [21-8 (8-6), RPI: 20, SOS: 15] The Spartans made it four-for-four on the homestand, a gigantic accomplishment that leaves them in extremely good shape. MSU is only 1-6 on the road and is at Michigan and at Wisconsin to close things out, meaning the date with the Wolverines on Tuesday looms very, very large. Beating Texas early will hold up well, as will the rout of Bradley and the win over BYU, but will 8-8 be enough? It very well could be, as the computer numbers are good, but why chance it?

Indiana [18-9 (8-6), RPI: 24, SOS: 32] Hmm ... good thing the last two are at Northwestern and home to Penn State, because IU might want to get both to feel completely safe after dropping its third in the last four, fading after halftime at Michigan State. Who knew the best nonconference win would be over Southern Illinois, which is a gift that keeps on giving for the Hoosiers. The win over Wisconsin also looks good on the mantel.

Work left to do:

Illinois [21-9 (9-6), RPI: 31, SOS: 25] A good performance at Penn State leaves the Illini in pretty good shape. Can they go to Iowa and take care of business to really look on their way? That's a huge game, as there is a possible cluster of teams that will end at 9-7. Illinois beat Bradley, but has lost to Xavier. A 9-7 mark and a semifinals trip in Chicago could be enough with the computer profile hanging in there, but it would be better not to mess around, clinching at least a tie for third.

Purdue [18-10 (7-7), RPI: 47, SOS: 28] Couldn't get it done at Iowa, but did win at Northwestern to put 9-7 squarely in sight. Where does that leave the Boilermakers, though? Even if they beat Minnesota and Northwestern at home, that won't help the computer numbers. Nonconference wins over Virginia, DePaul and Oklahoma are solid, but not spectacular. The Boilers very well might need an upset in the B10 quarters to have a legit claim.

Michigan [19-10 (7-7), RPI: 55, SOS: 53] Well, Michigan did what it needed to do, winning at Minnesota to take control of its fate. The Wolverines have Michigan State and an already-wrapped-up-the-league Ohio State at home to close, so the chances are there. Win both and we can talk. There is no marquee win yet in the profile, and the Wolverines were splattered in several games against name opponents. A mediocre computer profile fueled by a lack of road wins isn't helping, either.

Iowa [16-12 (8-6), RPI: 80, SOS: 64] For the sake of being complete, we'll add Iowa, this season's Stanford. It's plausible that the Hawkeyes could get to 10-6 (at Penn State, vs. Illinois left), but where does that leave them after a gruesome nonconference performance where the best win was over ... Toledo? Iowa State? Cornell?? If they get to 10-6, we can start to look at what they need to do in the B10 tourney, although my gut sense is that they would need to make the final and have knocked off Ohio State or Wisconsin on the way to have any real claim.
