Giants take on another Brewers ace on Saturday

Jul 19, 2008 - 10:13 AM Milwaukee (53-43) at San Francisco (40-56), 4:05 pm EDT

SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) -- The San Francisco Giants will try to erase Friday's loss, but facing the National League's All-Star Game starter makes it hard to buy into those hopes.

Ben Sheets takes the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers as they take on the Giants at AT&T Park.

Sheets (10-3, 2.85 ERA) threw two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out three as the National League starter in the Midsummer Classic. He will also be the second dominating hurler the Giants will face in as many days.

CC Sabathia tossed a complete game four-hitter on Friday, winning his third straight start since joining the team via trade with the Cleveland Indians.

San Francisco will counter with Jonathan Sanchez (8-5, 3.97), who is among the league-leaders in strikeouts (115) in 19 starts after making eight in the last two seasons combined.

In the series opener, Giants starter Matt Cain cruised through six innings, but gave up a leadoff walk to Rickie Weeks and then an RBI double to J.J. Hardy before being lifted. Reliever Keiichi Yabu hit Ryan Braun with a pitch and Prince Fielder blew the game open with a three-run homer against Jack Taschner en route to the 9-1 romp.

Aaron Rowand homered for San Francisco, which has lost seven of its last eight.
