Ben Sheets was beat up on Monday, allowing 10 runs without retiring a batter as the Reds beat the Athletics 13-5. Sheets signed a one-year, $10 million contract with Oakland after missing last season with elbow problems that required surgery. He allowed eight hits and a walk, while hitting another hitter. One of the hits came off a comeback grounder that bounced off Sheets' glove, keeping the rally going. "It was a bad one," Sheets said. "I could have at least got an out if I could catch the ball. I don't care whether they called it a hit or an error. It was hit right to me. "I felt great," he said. "The problem is my good pitches were just a strike and my bad ones were hits. You need your good pitches to be put in play. That's how you get outs. When you can't even get out of the first inning, it's ridiculous."
