WHAT'S THE NEWS
The signing of pitcher Bobby Livingston is now official and this means the next start Hector Rondon makes, will be in Columbus for the Clippers.
Livingston meanwhile is a former fourth round pick for the Mariners. He's spent the past few years bouncing around teams and this year he's been with Baltimore.
Livingston had the MLB record for most hits by a pitcher in a game with four. He's made 10 starts for the Reds back in 2007, going 3-3 with a 5.27 ERA. He only has seven career hits, so most of his hits came in that one game.
Remember, Fausto Carmona goes for Columbus today.
