Cincinnati Reds to face organization's prospects in Dayton
DAYTON − The Cincinnati Reds will close out their regular-season preparations with what amounts to an intra-squad game. The organization is also giving a nod to the 25th season of Dayton Dragons baseball.
The could-be Opening Day Reds will face a team of the organization's prospects Tuesday at a sold-out Day Air Ballpark (6:10 p.m.; WLW 700). The game in Dayton is billed as the "25th Season Celebration Game" for the Dragons.
With the MLB opener looming on Thursday at Great American Ball Park, Terry Francona will manage the roster of mostly big leaguers while Louisville Bats manager Pat Kelly will preside over the prospects team.

D-backs catcher Gabriel Moreno leaves game in the 6th
CINCINNATI (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno left Friday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds after being struck on his right hand by a wild pitch from right-handed reliever Cristian Mena. With the Diamondbacks leading 3-2 in the sixth, Mena's pitch bounced in front of home plate and hit Moreno on his throwing hand. After consulting with the training staff, Moreno made a few throws but couldn't continue. Manager Torey Lovullo said X-rays were negative. 'Taking him out of the game was precautionary, the trainer recommended it after watching him throw the ball' Lovullo said. 'There's substantial swelling in that area. We'll see how he wakes up and feels tomorrow.' Jose Herrera replaced Moreno behind the plate. Moreno was 0 for 2 and looking to extend his seven-game hitting streak. He was batting .281 with four homers and 17 RBIs in 49 games.
