Brilliant pitching allows Crew to blank Padres

MILWAUKEE -- Well-traveled Brewers right-hander Junior Guerra pitched six scoreless innings for his second victory in as many starts at Miller Park, a 1-0 win over the Padres on Friday.

Guerra engaged in an unlikely pitchers' duel with Christian Friedrich, a left-hander called up from Triple-A El Paso to start for San Diego, who delivered six innings on a career-high 116 pitches. Friedrich allowed one run on four hits and six walks (one of which was intentional) while working in traffic all night. The Brewers put the leadoff man on base in four of Friedrich's six innings, and the first two batters aboard in three frames -- the first, the third and the fifth.
