Villanueva Vilified No More

Pitcher Carlos Villanueva--the starter turned reliever turned starter turned reliever turned starter--made his return to the rotation...as well as his case for returning to the rotation for '08. Villanueva allowed only one ER in 6 IP while fanning 6 en route to a 5-3 win. The victory moves the Crew within a ½ game of first following the Cubs loss to the Dodgers. Coco Cordero earned his 40th save on the year, setting the Brewers' record for most in a season. Yovani Gallardo goes for the Crew in the rubber match Wednesday night.
