SB Nation Coverage
We won. Yay!
Starting pitcher Chris Narveson got things started for the Milwaukee Brewers when he drove in a run with a single in the second inning. Narveson and Jonathan Lucroy would come around to score on singles by Richard Weeks and Corey Hart, giving the Brewers a 3 run lead.
The Rockies would answer back in the bottom of the 4th with 3 runs powered by a Todd Helton homerun. The Rockies would take the lead in the bottom of the fifth on a Todd Helton sacrifice fly.
In the 6th inning, Joe Inglett would deliver his 300th pinch hit of the season, a run-scoring double that scored Alcides Escobar to tie the game. The human windmill, 3rd base coach Brad Fischer, would send Lucroy to home plate to be put out -- of course to make sure that the Brewers would be done scoring for that inning.
With the score tied 4-4, recently promoted pitching addition Mike McClendon would blank the Rockies for 3 innings in his MLB debut. John Axford entered the game in the ninth inning, and kept the Rockies at bay, giving Casey McGehee the opportunity to drive in the game winning run the 10th inning with a single.
The Brewers collected 16 hits, and only scored 5 runs tonight -- their second lowest run tally with 16 hits -- they have managed to squeak out 4 runs twice before tonight with 16 hits.
Mike McClendon should be signed to an extension, I assume the paperwork is being filed.

Axford has almost as many wins
As Bush and Parra combined. Yes, I know, wins mean nothing. But I thought it was surprising.
he's probably pitched as many innings as them
perhaps not combined though:P

Were you drunk when you typed this?
This reads like a drunk comment. Maybe I’m drunk.
Yeah, well, sometimes I drink.

Jimenez has had a few bumps in the road this season
It’s not been all quality starts in 2010. Maybe we catch him on a down day Sunday – and the good Manny is on the mound for us. Consider this a segue into a new thread?

Here's a vote for McGehee as MVP
Clutch hit. A rarity for this team, it seems.

And here's a vote for Narveson as a regular PH
Wolf, too. Better results than Counsell this year.
I see nothing wrong with pitchers pinch hitting. They’d probably love to be given the opportunities. Even with the small sample sizes, it’s hard not to consider this (if your not some guy named Macha).
