OKLAHOMA CITY

Note: This tandem pairing is incomplete. Due to a rainout on Opening Day, the RedHawks played two 7-inning games on Day 2 and did not use the second man from the piggyback on those 2 days. Dallas Keuchel, Rudy Owens and Jose Cisnero hadn't been used for the RedHawks yet through Sunday's game. Keuchel was called up to Houston on Saturday and reports (unconfirmed) have Clemens heading to Houston as I write this so the pairings/order are already subject to change.
