Jose Arredondo: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K

He now has 5 BB/18 K and a 2.95 ERA in 12.2 innings between Double-A Carolina and Triple-A Louisville.

Bats lost their fifth straight, 4-0. They've been shut out in two of those, and in four of them have scored two runs or fewer. Never thought that would happen.

Carolina up 8-4 after a HR by Jake Kahaulelio.

Dayton trailing 6-4 going into the bottom of the ninth. Dayton pitchers (Tuttle, Infante, Braun and Rogers) have walked 9 and struck out 10.

Dragons fall 6-4.

Mudcats win 8-5.

Surprised to see Tzu-Kai Chiu starting for Bakersfield. He pitched only in relief last year, and so far this year.

I suspect Chiu may return to the bullpen. It's 13-0 San Jose in the fourth. Andrew Bowman has done his part, as well.

Out-freakin-standing. Won't be long before he takes Fisher's spot on the Reds' 25-man roster.

Bakersfield is getting crushed by San Jose. 15-0 in the 6th.

Doesn't it pretty much coincide with Sappelt's absence from the line-up?

Just sayin'.
