Good grief Mahlstedt gives up another single! I thought Bakich pulled the trigger a little quick on Clayton, especially for Mahlstedt, who has little experience and none on the road. 2 on with no outs.

Reid Garris makes his third appearance of the season out of the pen! He had a great season in relief last year. We'll see if he can hang onto this lead with 2 on and no outs.
