CIN TV: FSOH - RADIO: 700 WLW Minnesota Twins2B B. Dozier 1B J. Mauer RF T. Hunter 3B T. Plouffe CF E. Rosario SS E. Nunez C K. Suzuki LF S. Robinson SP P. Hughes Cincinnati RedsCF B. Hamilton 2B I. De Jesus 1B J. Votto 3B T. Frazier RF J. Bruce LF M. Byrd C T. Barnhart SS E. Suarez SP A. DeSclafani ---Cincinnati righty Anthony DeSclafani will make his 16th start, looking for his first win since June 9 against the Phillies. DeSclafani picked up wins in his first two June starts, but since is 0-1 despite a 2.63 ERA in his past three starts this month. On the season, DeSclafani is 5-5 with a 3.35 ERA and 61 strikeouts. Minnesota righty Phil Hughes will look to continue a recent hot streak. He has four straight quality starts with a 2.45 ERA during the stretch. On Wednesday, Hughes outperformed White Sox ace Chris Sale with eight innings of one-run ball. Hughes is 6-6 with a 4.20 ERA and 60 strikeouts. He leads the Twins in wins and innings (98 2/3). Both starting pitchers will face mostly fresh faces. DeSclafani has never faced anyone on the Twins, while Hughes has matched up against Skip Schumaker (2-for-4), Marlon Byrd (0-for-3) and Ivan De Jesus Jr. (0-for-2). ***On Monday, Twins right fielder Torii Hunter played his first game at Great American Ball Park. He has now played in every current stadium in the Majors. |

Why is Suarez batting 8th with a .360 OBP vs. De Jesus who is sporting a .298 OBP? Just curious to know if I'm missing something.

Game won't start on time. Next update at 7:15. Looking at the radar, I have no idea what to expect. Pop up showers everywhere.

Bruce seems to be heating up, trade him asap. Twins broadcast crew(Bert Blyleven and somebody) in so many words last night pretty much said the Reds would be dumber than owlshit not to trade Chapman. They seemed to think the Reds could get quite the haul and suggested the Tigers would be heavily interested. |

Disco strikes out Dozier with a nice slider down and away. Away we go.

Is it even open for debate that Votto is a much better hitter this season when he hits 2nd??

Barnhart and Suarez. I remain impressed. Whether starters or not, they can generate positive value for this club in the future.

I gotta keep reminding myself that it is a good thing when this team loses, but I was really unimpressed with Price's decision to send Disco back out for the 7th inning.

I'm still confused on Disco's fluctuating workload limitations. He just wasn't on tonight. It was a constant battle. To try and steal another inning when he had given up 10 baserunners through 6 just didn't make sense. And unfortunately it looks like it might be the difference in this game. |
