Cincinnati (AZL) Loss Tarnishes Fine Game by Poole
Ed Smith Stadium was the site of the home opener for the Cincinnati (AZL) Reds. The contest featured a prime matchup between Tim Méndez of the visiting Cleveland (AZL) Guardians and Isaac Wilhelm of the Reds. The final score was 10-8, the Guardians getting the win. Randy Poole turned in the best performance. Cleveland (AZL) starter Tim Méndez was credited with the win after throwing 157 pitches over 8.2 innings. His record now stands at 1-0. The save was Mitch Crawford's, his 1st.

Cleveland (AZL) used a clutch at-bat from Derek Nabors to capture the win. The catcher hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Guardians ahead, 7-3. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We take it day by day here," said Nabors, "and today was a good one for us."
