A triple is the hardest hit to get in baseball. The Gwinnett Braves got two in the 10th inning to beat the Louisville Bats 6-3 on Sunday night at Louisville Slugger Field.

Jacoby Ellsbury hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the 13th inning and Boston won an interleague matchup between division leaders 5-2. Ryan Howard's solo homer off fill-in closer Ramon Ramirez with one in the ninth tied it, but the Phillies couldn't pull out their third straight comeback win in extra innings.

MOOSIC, Pa. - The Louisville Bats got the first homers of the year from Michael Griffin and Darnell McDonald to beat Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 7-5 last night.

Alex Rios had four hits and drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, leading Brian Tallet and the Blue Jays to a 5-3 victory over the Red Sox yesterday in Toronto.

On our "Better Red Than Dead" blog, we've created a scoring system that grades the Sox after each game in an attempt to determine who's really pulling the most weight.

THE HIGHLIGHTS: Clay Buchholz will likely never forget Memorial Day 2009. The right-hander pitched a perfect game through eight innings before settling for his second one-hitter of the season in front of a crowd of 8,848 at Louisville in the opener of a four-game series.

Perhaps Ben Jukich should remain in the starting rotation. The left-hander pitched the Louisville Bats to a 6-0 victory over Syracuse at Louisville Slugger Field on Saturday.

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto has been diagnosed with an inner ear infection and is expected to return to the field in the next few days.

The Reds placed starting pitcher Edinson Volquez on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday because of back spasms and recalled pitcher Homer Bailey from Triple-A Louisville.

The day began poorly for manager Dusty Baker. He wanted to give Edinson Volquez an extra day for his stiff back to heal, so he reluctantly moved his next start from Friday to Saturday.

At first, the Reds' decision to promote pitcher Ramon Ramirez from Triple-A Louisville might seem like a head scratcher.

The Cincinnati Reds put right-handed reliever Nick Masset on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with strained muscles in his left side.

The mystery behind Joey Votto's dizzy spells remains that. Votto was unable to fly home with the Reds after becoming light-headed following Sunday's game against the Padres.

Jonathan Papelbon powered his way out of a ninth inning jam with three straight strikeouts after Jason Bay doubled home the go-ahead run in the eighth, and the Red Sox beat Tampa Bay 4-3 last night in Boston.

Relief Report: Hold it, Hold it! May 5, 2009 After a night on which two pitchers received credit for holds in the same game when they were losing pitchers, it seems like the perfect time for the first Relief Report of the season.

Louisville had three games over the weekend, dropping the series to Buffalo. In Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader, Sam LeCure had some trouble with the Bisons offense, as he gave up 5 runs in 4 to lose 5-1 . In Game 2, the Bats blanked Buffalo 2-0 , behind a 7-inning shutout by Homer Bailey .

The revolution will not be televised, people. Instead, it will be personally carried to your door.
