"Milwaukee Brewers: Yet Another Record"

Yesterday, Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Ben Sheets struck out a franchise record 18 Atlanta Braves and allowed only three hits in a complete-game victory. It was Sheets' best game ever as a pro, and probably the greatest pitching performance in team history. The closest comparison is Juan Nieves' no-hitter in 1987.

Ironically, is was also announced today that Sheets was named the NL Player of the Week. He followed teammate Lyle Overbay, who won the award last week, marking the first time since Jim Gantner and Robin Yount won on July 18 and 25, 1982, that two Milwaukee players were honored in back-to-back weeks.
