Kikuchi swiped at a ground ball come-backer awkwardly and tweaked something, but he told the trainer he's alright and he's now pitching again.

Kikuchi tweaked his triceps on his non-throwing arm reaching for a comebacker. He's fine.

Reminds me of those cartoons where they have the ambulance come out, put the guy on a stretcher and then drop him and drive off with out him.

Gunnar is seeing lefties quite well.  This guy is tough on everyone.

[Gurgi]

Sleepy game so far.  

[Roy Firestone]

Hays hitting everything on the ground...

[Baltimorecuse]

I think we'll get to this guy.

Kikuchi's had a real turn-around all season: 1.40 decrease in ERA, leaping from 73 to 109 in ERA+. Big drop in walks from 5.2 to 2.7/9 innings probably makes all those home runs he still gives up less damaging.

He really has.  He's never been able to locate his offspeed like this before.

[Roy Firestone]

Kikuchi sure isn't an easy matchup for us tonight...he's locked in...

Kyle Stowers just hit an inside the park grand slam for the Tides.

I agree. We've seen a few guys give it a ride to the warning track so far. Even Mateo came close.

He hit two of them in the same game?

Rumors of his demise, are greatly exaggerated.
