Zack Cozart is Back, Dusty Baker is Not

Rookie Zack Cozart missed 14 games with a strained left oblique.  The Reds with an 11-game lead let it heal longer than they normally would.

Dusty Baker intended to return today but has not been seen and his whereabouts are unknown.  He was in a Chicago hospital overnight for observation.  The Reds sent an email that explained his doctors were concerned about his traveling today and decided to keep him another day.  The St. Louis Cardinals are in extra innings with the Chicago Cubs.  A Cubs win and the Reds have a possibility to clinch tonight with a win.  Baker is reportedly watching the Cubs/Cardinals in his hospital room.

St. Louis held a 4-2 lead over the Cubs in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and no one on base.  Fernando Salas allowed a single to David DeJesus.  Salas had Darwin Barney down to his last strike before he hit one into the left field seats to send the game to extra innings.
