House is now sort of the #3 starter in the rotation, which is not a thing I imagined myself typing when the season began. He'll get to bat for the first time in a long time this evening, so maybe he'll help his own cause. I like seeing Gomes a little higher in the lineup, better grouping the hitters most likely to do some damage.

The Ohio Cup is on the line tonight. The Indians reclaimed it by winning 5 of 6 against the Reds in 2011, and the Tribe has retained it in each of the last two years, but a loss tonight means it stays behind in Cincinnati, an awful fate.
