Reds vs. Phillies, 6-27
An adjustment to the upcoming Reds probables: Bronson Arroyo will pitch Friday on regular rest. Kyle Lohse, who had been listed as Friday's starter, will pitch Saturday.
Also: Left-handed reliever Bill Bray was sent to Triple-A Louisville today on a minor league rehabilitation assignment. Bray allowed three earned runs on four hits over 2/3-inning in the Bats' 6-4 loss against Richmond.
Bobby Livingston started and allowed one run on three hits over six innings. Ryan Freel played center field and went 2-for-5.

Can anyone explain the logic behind batting Hamilton lead off against a lefty, and NOT running Hopper out there? I thought it was Bob Boone that tried to reinvent the game!!

If you took the time to read the paper you would see that Moyer is tougher on right handed hitters than left handed hitters. The logic was good and did work.
Ask and ye shall receive!! Thanks, I wasn't aware of that fact...I was traveling the past 2 days and had to catch the game on my laptop at the airport. Moyer being a longtime AL pitcher, didn't know that much about the guy. But all things considered, would still have had Hopper bat lead off...Hamilton is no more of a leadoff hitter than Conine is a 4!
