Odd Line

Ben Sheets turned in a very odd pitching line tonight. If I told you he pitched seven innings, allowing six hits and no walks while striking out eight, you’d think he pitched very well. But Ben allowed five runs with those numbers. He started the eighth and let the first three runners reach base, one of them scoring. The bullpen came in and allowed the other two to score turning a very good pitching performance into something that hurt his ERA. Still, Ben got the win, and the Brewers will take many more performances like that down the stretch.
