MILWAUKEE -- Matt Garza is finally healthy and its beginning to show.The Milwaukee Brewers right-hander pitched into the eighth inning for the first time this season, leading his team to a 3-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night.Ive just been trying to get back to normal, Garza said. I finally feel back to where I should be. Im not fighting my body anymore. Im not fighting my pitches.Garza missed more than two months at the start of the season with a strained right lat muscle and struggled in July before showing more consistency in August.Im actually getting to be able to play pain-free and its exciting for me, Garza said. Its been three, four years since I have been like this. I found my slider, my breaking stuff. Im just going to embrace the moment and go out there and have some fun.Garza (5-6) gave up one run and three hits in seven-plus innings while walking two and striking out eight.It was another start where he was very good, Milwaukee manager Craig Counsel said. Hes got a little string going right now where hes really making pitches.Kirk Nieuwenhuis hit a three-run homer off Luke Weaver (1-2) in the third inning for the Brewers, who snapped a six-game losing streak.He just left a changeup up. I was able to get inside it and put a good swing on it, Nieuwenhuis said.Nieuwenhuis blast came after Garza drew a two-out walk and Jonathan Villar followed with a double.I was just trying to take as many pitches as possible and keep myself from going back out there really quick, Garza said. He threw a good cutter off and I leaned out there. I was telling myself, `Id rather you punch out looking than swing at something in the dirt.Garza allowed the first two batters in the eighth to reach base. After Greg Garcia singled, he walked pinch-hitter Stephen Piscotty.Hes got a lot of power and I dont want to make a mistake leaving something over the middle. So I made sure to keep stuff down or off and he wasnt biting, so you just tip your cap to a good at-bat for him, Garza said.Carlos Torres replaced Garza and pitched out of the jam, but not before loading the bases with two outs.Yadier Molina hit a solo home run in the fourth for the Cardinals giving them a homer in a franchise-record 20 consecutive games.Weaver, making his fourth major league start, gave up three runs and four hits in six innings.

Spending time, filling out stadiums, this is what footballs all about growing communities and grassroots, making it bigger and raising awareness. This excites me as much as winning.Although City were far from dominant against their National Premier League Queensland opposition, Cahill is confident they are on their way to being a dominant side.The win for us is massive because weve got goals we set, Cahill said.Theres only five existing players from last year so were starting a journey of something that could be special.Were going to build a good culture. Well be critical of ourselves in-house to make ourselves better and also take care of each other because thats what good teams do.We know the standards we have to get to and this is a stepping stone to that.The quality of footballers we have in this football club is very high. Weve got a philosophy of football and style we want to play. Combinations will slowly work when its relaxed. ' ' '
