Sheets aims for fifth straight win as Brewers host Astros
Jun 25, 2007 - 2:20 PM Houston (32-43) at Milwaukee (43-32) 8:05 pm EDTMILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- Ben Sheets has been on a roll. However, the Houston Astros may be the team that slows him down.
Sheets takes the mound in search of his fifth straight win as the Milwaukee Brewers open a three-game series with the Astros on Monday.
Sheets (8-3, 3.19 ERA) has won seven of his last eight starts and is looking to win five in a row since May 29-June 29, 2001 - his rookie year. His last time out, Sheets recorded a six-hit complete game, allowing two runs and striking out four against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday.
However, the Astros seem to have Sheets' number. The righthander has gone just 1-6 with a 4.89 ERA in his last nine starts against Houston.
Milwaukee, which has won nine of 11, saw its five-game home winning streak come to an end on Sunday in a 4-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals.
Sheets will be opposed by Jason Jennings (1-1, 3.63), who is coming off his first win of the season in seven starts. The righthander allowed five runs - four earned - and 11 hits against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Tuesday.
The Astros snapped a three-game losing streak with a 12-9 win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday.
