-- Reds owner Marge Schott, who rescinded the ban on facial hair in February, on spotting Dmitri Young with his orange-yellow hair and goatee. It's a fact: The Pirates' Jason Kendall, who led the majors by being hit with 31 pitches last season, was hit by a pitch in the eighth.

Who's hot: The Rockies have 27 hits in their first two games.

Who's not: Livan Hernandez's lifetime ERA against the Mets is 6.88 in six starts.

On deck: Rockies manager Jim Leyland needs two wins to reach 1,000.
