Bill Bray had three Ks in his inning.

If the Reds make a temporary move, I hope it's Gathright. Citifield is a big ballpark. I don't think Jay Bruce should play CF at Citifield. If Stubbs and Heisey can't go, I'd like to see Negron and/or Gathright so the Reds can cover the outfield decently.

Also looks to me like Billy Bray will be back real soon. So we can expect a pitching move too.

Harris? Don't see why he needs to come up to the Reds, unless somebody else is hurt.

Louisville gets a walk and a single in the bottom of the 9th but fails to push across any runs. They tumble 8-6.

Mobile and Pensacola completed 4.5 innings before their game was suspended. Mobile leads 3-1.

The Bakersfield Blaze are down 1-0 through four innings. Jaren Matthews has the only Blaze hit, Hamilton is 0-2. Jamie Walczak has allowed a solo HR with 7 Ks.

First half North Champion Bakersfield Blaze!

They came back from 2-0 down to win 4-2. Niko Vasquez had a double and a 2-run HR, Hamilton an RBI single and his 75th steal. Pat Doyle and Brian Pearl combined for 5 scoreless innings. Pearl's 13th save was 5 outs with 4 Ks.

Perhaps most surprising, twitter reports of pre-game traffic:

@zewing - Just drove by Sam Lynn Ballpark, and get this - there's actually game traffic. Has to be a first. Blaze can clinch first half tonight ‪#bcali

Sorry, my tongue was stuck in my cheek for that one.
