(Sports Network) - The Milwaukee Brewers try for their season-best ninth straight win this afternoon, as they attempt to complete a three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres at Petco Park.

Milwaukee continued to roll on Wednesday, as CC Sabathia threw seven effective innings and Corey Hart went 3-for-5 with three runs batted in to help Brewers to a 7-1 victory.

The Brewers also won eight in a row from July 13-24, and matched the feat thanks in part to a solid outing from Sabathia (7-0), who gave up nine hits but only one run, and struck out eight. Sabathia remained unbeaten since being traded to the Brewers in early July, and is 10-0 in his last 13 starts.

Prince Fielder homered for the second straight game and walked twice, while Sabathia added an RBI in the win.

Josh Banks (3-5) took the loss after surrendering all seven runs on five hits and six walks in 4 1/3 frames. Banks hadn't lost a start since July 6.

Nick Hundley had the only RBI for San Diego, while Scott Hairston and Brian Giles each collected two hits.

If the Brewers are going to extend their winning streak they will have to do so against the NL's reigning Cy Young Award winner in righty Jake Peavey, who is just 8-8 this season, despite a 2.68 earned run average.

Peavey dropped his second straight start on Friday in Colorado, as the Rockies reached him for three runs and five hits in six innings.

The 27-year-old righty is 2-2 in seven starts against the Brewers with a 2.90 ERA.

Milwaukee will have a pretty good righty of its own on the hill tonight, as Ben Sheets tries for his 12th win of the season. Sheets was brilliant against the Washington Nationals on Saturday, as he tossed a five-hit shutout to improve to 11-5 on the year, while lowering his ERA to 2.95. He also struck out six without walking a batter.

Sheets, though, is 0-1 lifetime against the Padres with a 10.34 ERA in three starts.

The Padres went 5-2 against Milwaukee last year, which included a three-game sweep at Petco Park.
