ST. PETERSBURG http://www.marinersfanproshop.com/authentic-edgar-martinez-jersey , Fla. (AP) — levels will use the experimental rule requiring pitchers to face at least three batters or end the half-inning, unless injured.The National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues said Friday the rule will be used at Triple-A and Double-A.Major League Baseball proposed the rule to the players’ association, which refused to agree to its use in the major leagues this year. MLB intends to institute the rule for 2020.Pat O’Conner, the NAPBL’s president, said the rule will provide “providing valuable data for Major League Baseball as they review the impact it has on the pace of play.”An adjustment has been made to the rule the minor leagues started using in 2018 that had extra innings start with a runner on second. Last year Mitch Haniger Jersey , the runner was the one whose spot was up last in the previous inning. Under the change for this year, pitchers will be skipped over if their slot was last and the man in the previous position will start on second base.In addition, the limits on mound visits without pitching changes have been dropped from six to five at Triple-A, from eight to seven at Double-A and 10 to nine at Class A. There is no limit for short season or rookie leagues. A pair of homers doomed Matt Harvey and the Reds."The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the GameIn a day that was light on the offensive side for the Reds, Scooter Gennett was able to at least put something on the board. He collected 2 hits http://www.marinersfanproshop.com/authentic-edgar-martinez-jersey , both of which were the only extra-base hits the Reds had all day. He finished 2 for 4 with a double and a solo home run and became the first Reds second baseman to have back-to-back seasons of at least 20 dingers since Brandon Phillips did it in 2007-2009. Have a trophy, Scoot.Honorable mentions are due to: Jackson Stephens, for striking out 2 in a scoreless inning. Key PlaysAdam Frazier started off his monster day with a 1-out dinger to right to give Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead. Things stayed that way until the bottom of the 6th. Adam Frazier singled to right and then came around to score on a 2-run blast by Gregpry Polanco. Pirates led, 3-0. The Pirates were able to add to their lead in the bottom of the 7th. Kevin Newman singled to right with 1 out and then moved to third when Scooter Gennett threw away a double-play ball that put runners on 2nd and 3rd. That brought up Adam Frazier, who collected his 4th hit of the day and drove in both runners. Pirates led 5-0.Scooter Gennett hit a solo dinger in the top of the 8th Alex Colome Jersey , but that’s all the offense the Reds could muster. Pirates win 5-1.Tony GraphaninoSource: FanGraphsOther NotesMatt Harvey wasn’t too bad in this one. He shouldn’t be taking starts from young guys at this point, but whatever. He had a quality start today, scattering 7 hits over 6 innings, allowing 3 runs, no walks http://www.marinersfanproshop.com/authentic-edgar-martinez-jersey , and striking out 3.Pirates’ starter Trevor Williams has been on a tear lately, as today’s outing was the 6th of his last 9 appearances where he didn’t allow a run.Joey Votto did something cool today.Cody Reed will take the mound for the Reds tomorrow to try and even up the series. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM ET.Tunes.
