Matt Maloney to DL Darryl Thompson Promoted

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.
