Ben Sheets set a Milwaukee franchise record by striking out 18 in a 4-1 win for the Brewers over the Braves. 18 strikeouts is the most in the majors
in the last 3 years. The league record for strikeouts in a game is 20, last time that mark was reached was by the Big Unit, Randy Johnson in 2001.

MILWAUKEE - Everything was working for Ben Sheets on Sunday, even the shadows.
Sheets struck out a franchise-record 18 - the most in the majors in three years - leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-1 victory over the Atlanta
Braves.
"This place, with day games, hitters can't see the ball," Milwaukee catcher Chad Moeller said. "I was proof of that, also."
Comments:
Wow, guess that would cut down on home runs if they can't see the ball to hit it. I do not understand why they play games during odd lighting like
that. Its a transient thing, only an hour or so. Start early, start late, but don't make it difficult for the batters.
