Tom Glavine deserved better. The southpaw threw 6-quality innings against the Brewers Tuesday, allowing just two hits and one run to cross the plate. Glavine, 41, was pushing for his 300th win, a milestone that only 22 other pitchers in MLB history have successfully accomplished. The Brewers wouldn’t have any of it, as Bill Hall scorched a double off reliver Guillermo Mota in the 8th, scoring J.J. Hardy, and Geoff Jenkins hit a two-run laser in the 13th to end it. This was the second time in consecutive home series that the Brewers have stalled a milestone, the other being of course holding Barry Bonds homerless during the Giants’ series last week. What made both occurences even more ironic was the fact that in both series, the anniversary’s of Hank Aaron’s record setting homer and Nolan Ryan’s 300th win were celebrated in Milwaukee. Glavine, who ended up with a no-decision, will try to obtain the milestone in his next start against the Cubs Sunday.

With the victory, the Crew remains a game up on the trailing Cubs, who defeated the Phillies 7-3 behind a strong outing from Jason Marquis. Dave Bush, who picked up the win for the Brewers after throwing a scoreless 13th, was scheduled to make tomorrow’s start. Look for the Brewers to move Claudio Vargas up a start, as he got the scheduled days’ rest, due to the off day yesterday. As far as Thursday’s starter, Manny Parra will probably be the Brewers’ best option given the circumstances. The club also announced after the game that infielder Joe Dillon will be called up prior to Wednesday’s game. The corresponding roster move has not been announced yet, but the move could signal a rest day for Ryan Braun.
