Josh Fogg RHP (2-7, 7.29)
So glad Fogg keeps getting the ball...
Real pitchers duel we have today. Fogg with over 7 ERA and Gorzalanny with over a 6 ERA. With that said it will probably be 1-0 game.

This may very well be Fogg's last start, given that it's highly likely that Matt Maloney and/or Homer Bailey will be coming up in a few days.
Fogg promptly hits the leadoff hitter.
Stellar.
Gorzelanny doesn't have good numbers overall, but he did pitch very well against the Reds back in April (6.1 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 1 K). His next start against us, he didn't last the first inning (0.2 IP, 4 H, 6 ER, 2 BB).
HBP McClouth good start for Fogg.

Base hit, First two on.

And now the second batter, noted slugger Chris Gomez, smacks a single. Two on, nobody out.
...Stand by for a Grand Slam...
Fogg then issues a four-pitch walk to No. 3 hitter Doug Mientkiewicz, a noted slugger with all of two home runs in 2008. Bases loaded.
Noted slugger and cleanup batter Jason Michaels, hitting .230 with eight homers, steps in.
Seriously, there is all of one hitter worth a damn in this lineup- McLouth. That's really it.
Michaels pops up to short center, one out.
Finally an out.
