Juan Nicasio v. Jon Michael Redding
Notes: Modesto can win the series with a win or Inland Empire can tie it... Juan Nicasio has walked just one over two starts and 11 IP so far this season... Jon Michael Redding allowed seven hits and five walks in his last start... Game will be available on 970 AM in Modesto and 1050 AM in Inland Empire as well as www.milb.com and www.kcaaradio.com...

EDIT: I read that Kuo is going to make another rehab appearance today. I think he'll be followed by Redding.

EDIT: Either Kuo is not rehabbing today or he's not starting the game.
