Yanks in the outbank series#
Three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw (4-1, 2.08 ERA) starts for the Los Angeles Dodgers against Reds rookie Hunter Greene (3-7, 5.26), who threw 39 pitches at more than 100 mph when he faced his hometown team in April.įreddie Freeman has seven RBIs in the first two games of the series at last-place Cincinnati, which has dropped six straight overall and eight in a row over two seasons to the Dodgers at Great American Ball Park.Īfter watching three players exit early, the White Sox are a bit banged up going into their series opener at home against Baltimore.Ĭhicago outfielder Luis Robert extended his hitting streak to 13 games Wednesday in a 9-5 loss to Toronto. “We like our spot when we get to them.”ĭakota Hudson (5-3, 3.31 ERA) faces 29-year-old Milwaukee rookie Jason Alexander (1-0, 2.42). “There’s some incredible arms down there,” Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright said. Louis relievers have permitted just one hit and three walks while pitching 10 1/3 scoreless innings. Nolan Arenado and the Cardinals have a one-game lead in the NL Central over the Brewers heading into the finale of their four-game series in Milwaukee. The teams also meet five times in four days next week in Cleveland.

And, he presents a powerful case challenging the official story about the role the JDFN played in the SCUD missile launch that hit the barrack housing US soldiers in Saudi Arabia on 26 February 1991.ĭave’s book is a historical snapshot of what life was like at the JDFN and Woomera in the early 1990s through the eyes of a young US Air Force lieutenant.The young Guardians rallied for four runs in the ninth inning Wednesday night to stun Minnesota 11-10. But, Dave’s story gives us a unique perspective - an inside, emotional and personal look at life at the JDFN before, during and just after the war. The fact that operators from the JDFN were detecting and reporting SCUD missile launches in the Middle East war zone is no secret. The role of the JDFN during the First Gulf War is well documented in the public literature. Written in diary format, Dave takes us with him on his personal journey “Down Under” … how he deals with living in the remote outback, how he struggles at first with the Aussie accent, how he handles challenges as the sole military satellite systems engineer on site.
These questions are answered in Dave Ives’ book, “Yanks in the Outback.” Dave’s story – although fiction – is based on his experience as a young US Air Force lieutenant stationed at the JDFN from February 1990 until May 1991. What role did the remote satellite tracking station near Woomera South Australia play during the First Gulf War? What was it like when Aussies and Yanks lived and worked together while the Joint Defense Facility Nurrungar (JDFN) – now closed - was in operation?
