Brewers aim for eighth straight win vs. Padres

Aug 13, 2008 - 10:10 AM Milwaukee (69-51) at San Diego (46-73) 10:05 p.m. EDT

SAN DIEGO (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Brewers will be in search of their eighth consecutive win Wednesday when they visit the San Diego Padres.

The Brewers are on a mission to reach the postseason for the first time since 1982 and have shown it over the last seven contests as they have outscored their opponents, 42-11.

The road has also become an advantage of late, as Tuesday's 5-2 victory gave Milwaukee its 12th win in the last 15 games away from Miller Park.

Prince Fielder hit a three-run homer and Jeff Suppan pitched eight strong innings in the series opener. Fielder has seven blasts in his last 13 games, picking up the slack for Ryan Braun, who has missed the last three games due to lower back tightness.

CC Sabathia (12-8, 3.11 ERA) will get the call for the Brewers, looking to post a second consecutive shutout. The hefty lefthander is 6-0 with a 1.58 ERA in seven starts since moving over to the National League on July 7.

Sabathia is already tied for the NL lead in complete games with four - matching teammate Ben Sheets.

The Padres will counter with rookie Josh Banks (3-4, 3.77). The 26-year-old righthander has not factored in the decision in either of his last two outings despite allowing four earned runs in 12 combined frames.
