CINCINNATI (14-7) AT WASHINGTON (7-13)
Interesting Quote here:
John Patterson was scheduled to start against the Reds, but he was pushed back to Thursday against the Cardinals because of a forearm injury. Now, Ortiz will get the start. Ortiz was recently skipped because this past weekend because of a rainout on Saturday. Manager Frank Robinson told Ortiz of his decision, and the righty did not agree with it. Ortiz wanted to be pushed back one day and face the Braves on Sunday.
