The Reds are ahead of the Mets 1-0 in the sixth, but Kaz has two hits; Kaz Ishii that is. The two Kaz's are batting 8th and 9th, but the pitcher now has a better BA, OBA and Slugging percentage than the 2nd baseman.

Ramon Ortiz is spinning a gem. No walks, just four hits, and 50 of his 71 pitches have gone for strikes.

Update: Matsui gets into the swing with his third home run of the season to give the Mets a 2-1 lead.
