Manager scratches mosquito bite, accidentally signalling runner to steal third
CINCINNATI (AP) - A pesky mosquito quickly made it a miserable night for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Cincinnati scored six runs in the first inning, Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 593rd homer in the second and the Cincinnati Reds breezed to an 11-4 victory Friday night.
All that happened after a 1-2-3 Milwaukee first inning in which Gabe Gross doubled and was thrown out trying to steal third as Ryan Braun struck out.
"It all started with a mosquito bite," Milwaukee manager Ned Yost said.
A mosquito bite?
"I was just itching a spot and Nick (third-base coach Nick Leyva) thought I was putting the steal on. I'm not going to steal with Prince (Fielder) coming up. I should have seen it was a preview of what was going to come. It set the tone for the night. I looked up and saw Gabe coming and thought, 'What the heck is going on?"'
