Sheets goes 8 2/3 innings in victory

Brewers SP Ben Sheets allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings during Monday's no decision against the Nationals. Sheets fell behind early as a Cristian Guzman solo home run and Jesus Flores RBI double put Washington ahead 2-0 after two. Sheets then settled down to throw four scoreless innings. He took the no decision after Milwuakee tied the game at 2 in the seventh. Sheets struck out six on the day.

Ben Sheets limited Pittsburgh to one run despite allowing 11 hits in his second complete game of the season to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-1 victory over the Pirates on Wednesday night. The Pirates scored only on Xavier Nady's leadoff homer -- his sixth -- in the fourth. The Pirates left nine on base as every position player in their lineup had at least one hit against Sheets, who was working on a shutout against the Dodgers in his previous start last Thursday until he gave up six runs in the seventh. In the Pirates' eighth Wednesday, Sheets caught a bad break when center fielder Mike Cameron fell down chasing Adam LaRoche's fly ball, which dropped in for a double. Sheets got out of the inning when left fielder Ryan Braun ranged far into foul territory to make a sliding, hip-high backhanded catch of Doug Mientkiewicz's fly ball.

Sheets beats Pirates in complete game effort

Brewers SP Ben Sheets shut out the Brewers on three hits Thursday through six innings, then gave up solo homers to slumping Dodgers Andruw Jones and Jeff Kent, an RBI single to Russell Martin and then a three-run homer to Gary Bennett as Los Angeles defeated Milwaukee 7-2. The loss was Sheets' first of the year, but he is now winless in three May starts.

Sheets implodes in seventh versus Dodgers

Brewers SP Ben Sheets allowed nine hits Saturday in a no-decision against the Cardinals. Sheets gave up three runs and walked run, while his six K's helped set a franchise record for strikeouts with 1,086. The last time Sheets gave up nine or more hits was May 29, 2007, when he allowed 11 hits to the Braves.

Brewers SP Ben Sheets was denied his fifth win by Eric Gagne's fifth blown save in the ninth inning of Sunday's game against the Astros. Sheets was better Sunday than in his last start when he set a career-high with seven walks. He allowed seven hits, including a solo home run by Lance Berkman, and four runs Sunday. He walked none and had six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. The Brewers lead 6-4 heading into the ninth, but Gagne loaded the bases twice and even walked in the game-tying run. Sheets got his first hit of the season Sunday as well, a run-scoring double in the second inning that put the Brewers ahead 2-0.
