(Sports Network) - The Milwaukee Brewers will again try to keep the San Francisco Giants out of the win column, and Barry Bonds in the park, when the two clubs wrap their three-game series today at Miller Park.

The Brewers have won the first two games of this series and will try to sweep the Giants at home for the second straight season. Milwaukee swept San Francisco in four games from September 21-24 of last year.

The last time the Brewers swept a three-game series at home versus the Giants was in April of 1998.

On Tuesday, Ben Sheets threw a complete game and the Brewers struck for six runs early off rookie Tim Lincecum for a 6-2 victory.

Sheets (8-3) won his fourth straight decision, giving up six hits, including a two-run homer to Ryan Klesko, to earn his second complete game of the season and 13th of his career. The big right-hander also walked one and struck out four.

Prince Fielder drove in three runs and Milwaukee scored all of its runs over the first two innings, leading to the Brewers' sixth victory in seven games and a seven-game lead over second-place Chicago in the National League Central.

J.J. Hardy missed the game, as the Milwaukee shortstop is battling tightness in his left hip, but should return today.

San Francisco slugger Barry Bonds went 0-for-3 with a walk and didn't homer for a second straight game, remaining at 748 for his career -- seven behind Hank Aaron's all-time record.

Bonds, though, isn't expected to be in the starting lineup for the Giants' matinee today.

Lincecum (2-2) allowed five hits, six runs and four walks over four innings. He also struck out six.

Ray Durham and Pedro Feliz each had two hits for the Giants, who continued to struggle with their season-high sixth consecutive defeat. San Francisco has dropped 18 of its last 24 games.

Barry Zito will attempt to halt a personal two-game losing streak with tonight's start for the Giants. Zito was on the losing end of a 6-0 shutout to Oakland on June 9 before getting rocked for seven runs (six earned) on five hits and four walks in 5 1/3 innings of a loss to Boston on Friday.

The left-hander signed a seven-year, $128 million contract this past offseason with the Giants, but has produced just a 6-7 mark through 14 starts with a 4.41 earned run average.

Zito had success against Milwaukee in his only other career start against them, tossing eight innings of one-run, two-hit ball on June, 11 2002 with Oakland.

One day after celebrating his 29th birthday, Claudio Vargas will start for the Brewers. Vargas has won his last two starts and sandwiched those victories around his first career save.

The right-hander posted the win against the Cubs on June 5, and was then forced into extra-inning duty on June 10 against Texas. Vargas locked down the 9-6 12-inning win for the save, and then started against the Twins on Friday, allowing three runs -- two earned -- on five hits over six innings of the 11-3 victory. The win improved him to 5-1 on the year with a 3.86 ERA.

Vargas is 3-2 in 11 games (eight starts) against the Giants with a 5.51 ERA. He was 1-1 in three starts versus them last year.

This series is the first 2007 meeting between these clubs. The Brewers won six of nine encounters with San Francisco last season and are 10-3 in their last 13 encounters with the Giants.
