Sheets Article Sheets misses start due to viral infection June 1, 2004 LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Ben Sheets missed Tuesday night's scheduled start against the Los Angeles Dodgers because of a viral infection and inflammation in his inner ear. ``Last night, he was real dizzy, to the point of nausea,'' manager Ned Yost said before batting practice. ``He's been in with the doctor since 10 or 11 this morning, and they were doing tests on him to find out what it was. My guess is, he'll miss a turn.'' Sheets missed a rematch with Jeff Weaver, whom he beat 3-1 with seven innings of four-hit ball and eight strikeouts last Thursday in Milwaukee. Sheets, who had an 18-strikeout game in Atlanta last month, is 5-3 with a 2.71 ERA and has not walked a batter in six of his 11 starts. Doug Davis, Wednesday's scheduled starter, faced the Dodgers on three days' rest.
