<h3>RHP Sheets seeks fourth straight win for Brewers</h3>



San Francisco (30-39) at Milwaukee (39-31) 8:05 pm EDT

MILWAUKEE (Ticker) - Ben Sheets goes in search for his fourthstraight win as the Milwaukee Brewers face the San FranciscoGiants on Tuesday.

Sheets (7-3, 3.31 ERA) allowed three runs and eight hits withseven strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings of a 6-5 victory over theDetroit Tigers on Thursday.

The 27-year-old righthander is 2-2 with a respectable 2.84 ERAthrough five career starts against the Giants.

In Monday's series opener, rookie Yovani Gallardo pitched 6 1/3solid innings in his major league debut and emerging sluggerPrince Fielder homered as the Brewers held on for a 5-4 victory.

The win also marked the return of second baseman Rickie Weeks,who collected two doubles in his first game back after a stinton the 15-day disabled list.

"It felt good, man, it felt real good," said Weeks, who battedfrom the eighth spot for the first time this season. "It wasgood to be back and help the team to win. We won the game, sothat's the biggest thing."

San Francisco sends Tim Lincecum (2-1, 5.25) to the hill withthe hopes that the righthander can bounce back from his lastouting.

Lincecum was tagged for seven runs and seven hits with fourwalks in just 3 2/3 frames in a defeat against Toronto lastWednesday.
