Milwaukee Brewers vs Cincinnati Reds - Once again the Brewers did things right but came up empty handed. The Reds opened the scoring with a run in the first but were almost denied on some very good defensive plays. Donald Satou looked a little rocky giving up 9 hits in 6 innings but the defense did their job holding the Reds to 2 runs. The Brewers holding a 5-2 lead in the 8th looked assured of a victory as the pen was called upon, but the Reds scored 2 in the 8th and then a 2 out solo shot off reliable closer Cooper Benes in the 9th sent the game to extra innings. Winston Ulrich, in his first AB after relieving Omar Nixon in the 10th, hit a two run two out blast in the 11th that sealed Milwaukee's doom. The series will continue in Milwaukee after a break in the action with the Reds holding a 2-0 advantage.
Anaheim Angels vs Durham Bulls - Dick Reed stuns Durham with a complete game 7-2 victory. Allowing only 5 hits while walking only 1, two of the hits went for solo shots in the 8th and 9th inning. He got plenty of offensive support as Angel batters connected for 4 home runs. 3 of them off Durham starter Cam Anderson who went 8 innings in the losing effort. The series is tied 1-1 and now moves to LA which is a much more difficult park to hit in.
