Throwing a complete game is a big deal these days. Unless you're CC Sabathia feasting on a new league.

The 6-foot-7, 290-pound left-hander went nine innings for the third straight time for his new team, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 on Wednesday night.

"He's got unbelievable stuff," catcher Jason Kendall said. "That's a good team over there, but when you're on it doesn't matter who's hitting."

Ryan Braun had four hits, lacking a double for the cycle, and J.J. Hardy hit his 14th homer for the Brewers, who have won seven straight.

Milwaukee won the first three games of this four-game series behind stingy pitching, limiting the Cardinals to six runs.
