September 11, 2006: Jim Edmonds = Rock Star



Facing off today were rookie Jason Vargas for Cincinnati and veteran A.J. Burnett for Fleetwood.

The Walkers jumped out to a quick lead on a 2-run HR by Jim Edmonds in the 2nd. The Royals came back to tie, though, scoring once on a triple by Jorge Piedra in the 3rd and again on a solo homer by Moises Alou in the 5th.

In the bottom of the 5th, Fleetwood jumped ahead again when Luis Matos and Marcus Giles hit back-to-back doubles. The Walkers' bullpen took it from there, throwing 4 scoreless innings to end the game. The oft-injured Eric Gagne picked up just his 2nd save of the season for Fleetwood, while Burnett earned yet another win.
