Tufff break for Kelly for sure. Looking forward to Tues game, will be there to see (hopefully) Anthony thro. Hope to see him show his stuff, I remember facing his dad on the mound 40 yrs ago at the Fair Grounds. BTW his dad had a GUN then also.

Good Luck Kelly on Tuesday.

Anthony should bounce back and dominate ! When he is on,  he is the best !

The Mcdonald kid is clutch !

Henton and McDonald seem to have multiple hits in every game
