MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Brewers desperately needed a
spark.  Mike Cameron provided it.

Cameron's RBI single in the eighth inning helped the Brewers 
avoid a three-game sweep Wednesday with a 4-3 comeback win over 
the Cincinnati Reds.

CC Sabathia did not pick up the win but pitched seven strong 
innings and helped the Brewers end what had been a disastrous 
homestand on a high note.

The Brewers finished their 10-game stay just 3-7, but they are 
still 3 1/2 games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies in the 
National League wild card race.  Milwaukee also moved within 
four games of the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central.

"You just keep grinding," Cameron said.  "As crazy as it's been,
this whole homestand, this one (win) here is - we'll be 
satisfied.  We're able to get out of here with a good feeling. 
... We've been stinking the last couple days, but we overcame 
today."

In the eighth, the Brewers loaded the bases off reliever David 
Weathers (2-6) on singles by J.J. Hardy and Prince Fielder and a
walk by Ryan Braun. Tony Gwynn Jr., in the game for the injured 
Gabe Kapler, grounded into a double play to score Hardy and tie 
the score at 3-3.

Cameron followed with a line drive hit to left that scored 
Braun.  Milwaukee finished 15-for-85 (.176) with runners in 
scoring position on the homestand.

"It's good to be a part of a good win today," Cameron said.  
"It's always good when you can get a big hit - especially where 
we've been the last few days, the highs and the lows.  
Everyone's been trying to maintain their composure and just try 
to compete."

Guillermo Mota (5-5) pitched a scoreless eighth in relief of 
Sabathia and Salomon Torres, who blew a save Monday, struck out 
the side in the ninth for his 27th save for the Brewers, who 
open a four-game series at Philadelphia on Thursday.

"You can't understate the significance of this four-game 
series," Brewers manager Ned Yost said.  "It's going to be a 
big, big series because we're playing the Phillies, but there's 
other teams involved too.  I'm sure Houston and St. Louis are 
licking their chops (because) we're going at it."

Sabathia, who is 9-0 in 13 starts with Milwaukee, allowed three 
runs and eight hits over seven innings with eight strikeouts.  
He gave up a three-run home run to Jerry Hairston in the the 
fifth inning, the fifth homer the 28-year-old lefthander has 
allowed as a Brewer.

"I was just trying to keep us in the game," Sabathia said.  "I 
know that if I can keep it there, we're going to score some 
runs.  Especially after the homestand we had, and heading into 
Philly, this win was very important."

Sabathia worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the third without a
run and got out of a first-and-third, no-out mess in the sixth 
unscathed.

"It shouldn't have been that close," Reds manager Dusty Baker 
said.  "We had some opportunities with less than two outs, but 
CC buckled down and didn't allow us to score.  We had him in 
serious trouble; somehow he got out of it with no runs."

Reds starter Bronson Arroyo allowed two runs - none earned - and
five hits with four walks, leaving with a 3-2 lead and in line 
to win his fifth straight game.

"I was going against one of the hottest guys in the game, if not
the hottest, and I knew it was going to be a low-scoring 
ballgame," Arroyo said.  "When I came out and it was 3-2, I knew
the game wasn't over.  They got it done today."

Sabathia was responsible for all of the Brewers' offense through
the first six innings when his RBI groundout off Arroyo scored 
Craig Counsell from third base in the bottom of the third.

The Brewers added another in the seventh when Cameron scored on 
shortstop Jeff Keppinger's throwing error.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Cincinnati (65-79) at Milwaukee (82-63) 2:05 p.m. EDT

MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Brewers are enduring one of 
their worst stretches of the season.  The wild-card race that 
they looked to be firmly in their grasp is starting to look more
tenuous by the day.

The closest thing they have to a certainty will get the call on 
Wednesday.  CC Sabathia (9-0, 1.42 ERA) looks to make it 10 
straight wins since joining the National League as the Brewers 
host the Cincinnati Reds.

As the Houston Astros (78-67) have stormed into contention with 
12 wins in 13 games, the Philadelphia Phillies (79-66) remain 
three games back while still fighting for the National League 
East crown and the St. Louis Cardinals (78-66) continue to 
linger, the Brewers' road toward their first playoff berth since
1982 looks more treacherous than it did last month.

But they have an ace in the hole, and it's Sabathia, who has 
arguably been the best pitcher in baseball since being acquired 
from the Cleveland Indians in July.  He was dominant in his last
start, going seven innings and allowing one run in a 3-2 Brewers
extra-inning win over the San Diego Padres.  He was even better 
in his previous start, tossing a one-hit shutout. The hit in 
that game came on a controversial scoring decision.

Though the law of averages may dictate the burly lefthander is 
due for a loss, the Brewers have never needed a vintage Sabathia
start more than now.  They have lost seven of their last nine, 
and the Reds have done some of the worst damage over the last 
two days.  On Monday, they scored three runs in the ninth off 
Milwaukee closer Salomon Torres to rally for a win, and on 
Tuesday came from behind once again to take a 5-4 victory in the
11th inning.

Cincinnati's starter, veteran righty Bronson Arroyo (14-10 
4.84), is on his own hot streak.  He has won his last four 
starts in near-dominant fashion, giving up two runs or less each
time.  The last time he faced the Brewers, an August 4 meeting 
in Cincinnati, he limited them to one run and four hits in six 
innings of a 6-3 victory.]]></description>
