    Ben Sheets loved being back in the majors so much that he broke normal custom for starting pitchers and watched the last three innings from Atlanta's hot dugout instead of the clubhouse.

    "I like to do that and I've had very good feedback on it," he said. "You work so hard to get a victory. I ain't going to leave them out there. They're battling for me."

    Sheets pitched six scoreless innings in his first game in two years and the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Mets 6-1 on Sunday for their season-high seventh straight victory.
