On a day I received at least 30 are we Playing calls, burnt hills soaked up the water like you were just watering it down. So with on and off sprinkles the Reds were able to defeat the A's 8-5. It was great to see a warrior on the mound for the A's Andy Sardella who was coming off major surgery and I never expected to see him. The A's jumped up for 2 early and we tied it up in the 3rd and took the lead for good in the 4th with 3 and 2 more in the 5th and 1 in the 6th. Chris Mason got his 1st 35 division win. Frank stalwari led us with a 3-3 night , Parella had a 2 RBI hit, and a bunch of other singles. Be prepared for a tough game against the A's as this is a good team full of former national hitters mixed with A's stalwarts. Good to see my former team mates and good luck rest of the year.
