Renken threw a good game in Dayton and might have gone longer, but there was a lengthy celebration after the 5th inning (when the game was official) to celebrate Dayton breaking the record last night.
Tucker Barnhart threw out a base stealer by a mile, keeping his approximately 50% success rate in tact and made a very nice play at the plate on a relay throw from Bowe (CF) – Hamilton (SS) to Barnhart.
I was at the Bats @ Indians game. Nothing much to note in terms of the Reds, except that Hermida seemed to be crushing the ball fairly well, but foul.
Janish fumbled a bare-hand pickup on a tough infield bouncer, which ended up being scored a hit.
