Re: German scratched from tonight's game.

2/3 of an inning from Nelson possible hand issue - he had been flexing the right hand but stayed in and walked the bases loaded. To his credit the first six pitches were strikes but then he hit Haigar in the back and unraveled a walk put runners on 1st & 2nd a long sac fly and with runners on the corners he uncorks a WP - visit by Matt Blake and Nelson stayed in to walk the bases loaded. Cessa in relief & 1 pitch ended the threat. Germain was seen throwing in the pen so he could be available later in the game.
