Sheets, Brewers aim for sweep of struggling Braves

Aug 3, 2008 - 6:14 AM Milwaukee (62-49) at Atlanta (50-60), 1:35 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- Ben Sheets and the Milwaukee Brewers look to complete a sweep of the Atlanta Braves on Sunday.

The Brewers, who had lost five straight entering this series, currently sit four games behind the Chicago Cubs (66-45) in the National League Central.

Sheets had lost three of his previous four decisions, but enjoyed plenty of success against the Braves in their last meeting. The All-Star righthander tossed his third complete game, allowing a run and four hits with seven strikeouts in a 4-1 victory on June 23.

Atlanta will counter with rookie righthander Jorge Campillo (5-4, 2.76), who is hoping to win his third consecutive decision.

Campillo will have to contain Brewers slugger Prince Fielder, who homered twice during Saturday's 4-2 win. It was his 11th multi-homer performance of his career.

The Braves have lost seven of eight.
