Manager Dave Trembley didn't have a lot to say after the game, but he did reveal that designated hitter Michael Aubrey was removed from the game after his first at-bat with soreness in groin.
"Something with his groin,'' Trembley said. "He said he felt something coming out of the box, so I got him out of there,"
Trembley said that Jeremy Guthrie just couldn't locate his pitches in that rocky first inning, but he finished much better.
"The last 15 pitches Guthrie threw were the best he threw in the game,'' Trembley said.
The manager also applauded another solid effort by Cla Meredith and the ability of Matt Albers to keep the ball down, and acknowledged the home runs by Garrett Atkins and Ty Wigginton.
"It was good to see Atkins get one,'' he said, "and Wigginton played an OK game."
