debut alert

Ole Miss fans have enough on their minds today with Game 2 of the super regional against Virginia slated for an 11 a.m. start. But here we go: Former Ole Miss standout Matt Maloney will make his big league debut today for the Cincinnati Reds. The big left-hander, who has been impressive at Triple-A (see previous post), will face the Chicago Cubs at 6:10 p.m. at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati. Believe it or not, the Reds and Cubs are in a virtual tie for third place in the NL Central. So it’s a big game for Maloney in more ways than one. Stay tuned.
