Pulaski County native Josh Anderson is off to a slow start with the AAA Gwinnett Braves. He is 2-12 with a run, 2 walks, a stolen base and one caught stealing in 5 games of action.

The Cincinnati Reds are 1-6 in their last 7, including a 3 game sweep at the hands of the Mariners. The offense has disappeared in that stretch, scoring just 7 runs in that stretch.
