Dodgers' Gary Bennett makes most of opportunity

The backup catcher, who didn't know he was going to start until 15 minutes before the game with Brewers, hits a three-run homer and drives in four.

MILWAUKEE -- Gary Bennett didn't find out he'd be playing Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers until less than 15 minutes before the first pitch. Which might have been a lucky break since it gave him little time to worry about the fact he'd be facing unbeaten right-hander Ben Sheets , who has been extremely difficult on everyday players, much less guys making their fifth start of the year.

For the first six innings yesterday Ben Sheets pitched lights-out and it appeared that if the offense could just tally a single run, they would take the game and series. That thought went up in flames in the top of the seventh. Sheets gave up six hits and six runs while only recording one out in the inning. The Brewers trailed 6-0 and Sheets was out of the game.Ugly seventh inning dooms Sheets
