I don't know, there's something about this recent little flurry by Yorman that strikes me as maybe some kind of turnaround. Tonight, he's 2-3 with a HR. We'll see.

Dayton leads 4-3 after seven. Stalin Gerson's line as the starter: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K. Michael Dennhardt has thrown two perfect innings of relief.

Ryan Wright is 2-2 with a HR.
