Daniel Ray Herrera got his first big league win last night. Braves hitters looked completely unsure of how to approach hitting him. It was quite humorous to watch. And it's a shame that the rain came because Aaron Harang looked outstanding in his first 2 innings of work. He was throwing strikes and hitting 92 and 93 regularly on his fastball. And true to form, the offense scored 7 runs in a game that Harang wasn't going to get the decision. He's going to go off on his teammates one of these days.

Mark Sheldon has updates on Votto, Volquez, and Encarnacion. The skinny: Votto could be rehabbing soon. Volquez is throwing again, but still a few weeks away. Edwin is swinging again, but they are being cautious.

Mike Lincoln has cleared waivers. Redleg Nation thinks this is a precursor to a DFA. Personally, I think it was just a feeler to see if they could DFA him.

Alex Gonzalez had the #2 Web Gem last night. I'm not sure how that play is better than Ryan Zimmerman's. It definitely shows off Gonzalez's range though.

Chris Dickerson and Daniel Ray Herrera kicked off the Reds Success League yesterday. I love stories about players working in the community. I don't think it should be required of players, but I truly respect those that want to get involved in their communities, especially when it includes working with kids.
