Matt Maloney couldn't pitch last night in the marathon 19-inning game. He strained his left oblique.
This answers the question about Carlos Fisher, pitching so long in the game, 5 1/3 innings and 95 pitches.
The Reds promoted Darryl Thompson from Double A Carolina. Thompson made nine starts with a 1-4 record and a 4.44 ERA.
Why Thompson?
It was his turn to pitch and he was accesible. It was doubtful that a pitcher from Louisville could make it to Philadelphia on time.
