News & notes

 Shaker grad Jeff Hoffman went just four innings Tuesday at Los Angeles against the Dodgers, but while he gave up three runs in the four innings, he only allowed one hit. Five walks did Hoffman in, ending his night early, but the Cincinnati Reds bullpen came to the rescue, as Cincinnati beat the Dodgers, 6-5. 

Hoffman's season ERA is a tidy 3.33 after Tuesday's game.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, Shenendehowa ace Ian Anderson pitched like an ace for the Atlanta Braves, as he combined with two relievers on a shutout of the Chicago Cubs, 5-0. Anderson went seven innings, and lowered his ERA to under 2 1/2 runs a game as he won his 2nd straight decision.

Oh, it's going to be fun if we have a Suburban Council reunion when the Reds & Braves meet later this season.
