Don't need a rain out. I'm going Sunday and Harang is scheduled if nothing changes.

John Fay...

 

Joey Votto is working out with the team on the field, as I type.

 

"He hit today," Dusty Baker said. "He's looking good, a lot better. . . It's good to see him."

 

Baker said Votto will be his minor league rehab "relatively soon."

 

My guess is it will be some time this week.

 

Votto again declined to talk to the media.

 

Other quick updates:

 

--Edwin Encarnacion took batting practice today -- 25 swings. "It feels good," he said of his wrist/hand. "Couple more days, I'm going to playing." He was referring to a minor-league rehab. Baker cautioned: "He's been close before," Baker said. "We've got to make sure he's not sure the next day."

Reds finally get a runner from 3rd home.

Rain Delay...

^ Probably shouldn't last to much longer. I say 9:30 start.

^ Well maybe not. Every time I refresh the radar more green comes up.

Start in 20 minutes.

Think Harang goes back out again?

Nope

Another delay.:ohbrother:

Reds 2-0.

Nix double.

BP Scores.

Still 2-0, top of 5. Little D is pitching well.

Phillips is really hustling around the bases tonight.

Reds 3-0.
