C.C. Sabathia picks up career win No. 200


With his 3-2 win over the Twins on Wednesday, C.C. Sabathia became the 27th pitcher to pick up career win No. 200 before the age of 33. The others? Oh, just names like Catfish Hunter, Greg Madduz, Jim Palmer, and Tom Seaver.

"I feel like all of them, I've had to battle for," Sabathia said. "Early I felt like all of them were like this; kind of all over the place, a couple of walks, runners on base, just battling to get outs. I think that's just me."

C.C. Sabathia is currently posting a 9-6 record with a 4.06 ERA in 18 starts.
