That ERA and WHIP is obviously a little skewed because of the 6 run inning yesterday. Look at it as an aberration. The Brewers had a relatively long bottom of the 5th inning with Billingsley working slowly and the Brewers getting a few baserunners. Sheets sat in the dugout for 25-30 minutes and late in a game for a power pitcher such as himself, that's tough to come back out and still be "in the groove" you were in when you left. Benny isn't a ground ball pitcher, he pounds the strike-zone and makes you earn everything. His curveball was hanging and his fastball lost a few mph's.
I'm not concerned, he's still this staff's ace.
