Sarasota and Lakeland played in Game 1 of their three game series Monday nicht. Starters were Duane Below and Alex Smit. Lakeland had 6 errors in the game. Smit pitched 6 innings giving up 4 hits with 8 strikeouts. Justin Tordi and Jose Castro had solo home runs to win the game for the Reds 8-2. Cale Iorg had 3 hits including a home run in the game for the Tigers.

Joel Zumaya was in uniform today. He is scheduled to pitch in relief tomorrow or so I've heard. No idea on how long he will be here. Joel didn't sign on the way to dugout but said he would sign after. He snuck back to the clubhouse sometime during the game because he was already sitting next to the clubhouse after the game and walked in when the game was over.

Al Kaline was there but was not in a good mood. Everyone was still waiting for Todd Frazier to come out. Instead of walking the back way Kaline goes right in front by the people waiting to get into the stands. Someone asked him to sign and he was very irritated, scribbled a couple sigs, mumbled and walked through the crowd.

Todd Frazier did not play in the game so he came out very close to the start of the game. He signed but he was in a rush to get to the dugout. I missed Phillippe Valiquette getting Vazquez and both times Scott Carroll walked by I was getting someone else and no one stopped him.
