RHP Nick Blackburn walked three batters, two to lead off an inning, and gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits over six innings. Blackburn said he slightly rolled his ankle on a play at first base Tuesday night when Nick Swisher unintentionally stepped on the back of the pitcher's shoe. Trainers came out to look at Blackburn and the right-hander said he was fine and that he wasn't spiked, though his shoe did come off when Swisher stepped on it.
