Kearns Ks looking. Umpire has a very open zone tonight. He better show the same favor to Claussen.

[redsrbetter]

Claussen starts it off well with an 0-2 count against Weeks. He gets him to later ground out to 3B.

[redsrbetter]

3-0 count to Hall, then he gets it full. Pop out to Casey.

[redsrbetter]

0-2 count to Overbay who is 9 for 11 against Claussen with 4 HR. He gets the 0-2 hit.

[redsrbetter]

Great sliding catch by Junior in CF! Claussen pitched well in that inning for the most part. he worked his changeup and curveball to Lee and got him to swing and miss a few times. Hopefully those pitches are going to be significant tonight.
