Worth noting

• Drew Smyly can't stop catching ceremonial first pitches. He was scheduled to catch University of Michigan basketball star Trey Burke on Tuesday night before Burke had to reschedule. Instead, he caught a first pitch from Mike Beebe, governor of Smyly's home state of Arkansas. Beebe was in town for a leadership conference.
