Game Recap
Cincinnati- 8, Toronto- 6 -- 2 big innings highlighted this one. The Reds sent 12 men to the plate in the bottom of the 3rd, scoring 6 runs in the inning, getting a double, 4 singles, and 2 walks.

Group B, Round 5, Game 3
Detroit at Philadelphia
Starting Pitchers
Andrew Oliver (DET) vs. Vance Worley (PHI)
Game Recap
Philadelphia- 4, Detroit- 2 -- 4 different players had an RBI for the Phillies, and Worley allowed just 2 base runners through 6 innings. Unfortunately, he left with an injury in the 7th, and will miss 5 games, but should make his next scheduled start. Magglio Ordonez supplied the offense for the Tigers, with a 2 out double in that fateful 7th inning, but things were silent other than that as Detroit managed 5 hits all game.
