Ben Sheets Returns!

As your faithful NL Central blogger here at FanHouse, I'd probably be smart to just title a draft named "Ben Sheets Returns!" and fill out the first paragraph with phrases like: "Ben Sheets returned to the mound tonight after ____ days on the sideline with a _______ injury. The Brewers were certainly happy to see their ace, as they ______________." I haven't done that yet. As far as you know ...

Ben Sheets returned to the mound tonight after missing a start with a triceps injury. The Brewers were probably happy to see him pitch against the Cubsl, but they probably weren't happy with how their oft-injured ace pitched tonight . He walked seven (7!) batters in five innings. Still, that was enough for the Brewers because they pounded Jason Marquis and Kevin Hart and built up a lead (10-7) that even Eric Gagne couldn't blow.

Mike Cameron also made his season debut in this one and it went considerably better than Sheets' return, as he went 3-for-5, drove in two, and scored twice. In fact, the entire Brewers' outfield came alive in this one, to the tune of 8 hits (three for Corey Hart, two for Ryan Braun), three doubles (one for everyone), five RBIs, and five runs scored. That's gotta be something the Brewers would like to see a whole lot more of this year.
