BREWERS WIN; BEN SHEETS GETS THE VICTORY
The Milwaukee Brewers continue to throw the ball well as a staff, defeating the Minnesota Twins 4-1 last night. BEN SHEETS improved his record to 6-4, despite obviously not having his best stuff. Here are some quotes from the paper about last night's performance...

"He was off just a little bit. It's tough to be razor-sharp every time," Yost said. "But he had enough."

And the Journal mentioned these statistics that I thought were impressive...

"Six times this season, the Milwaukee Brewers right-hander has taken the mound when his team has lost the previous game. And six times the Brewers have won, including a 4-1 decision Friday night over the Minnesota Twins at Miller Park.

Sheets' numbers in those six games: 4-0 with a 1.23 earned run average."

Some of what Sheets is doing after the Brewers might be "luck" (meaning he would've pitched well regardless), but nevertheless he is getting the job done when the team needs him and you can't discount that at all.
