Milton (Gameboar) Bradley left Sunday night's game in the fourth inning after straining his groin while running the bases, the Associated Press reports.

Reed Johnson replaced Bradley in the game and later robbed Prince Fielder of a game tying grand slam home run with a spectacular leaping glove-over-the-fence catch. Here it is:

For now, to steal a line from RotoWire's Herb Ilk, those of you who had April 12 in the Milton Bradley injury pool can now go to the pay window.

In the meantime, roto fans, Dempster gets a win because of Reed Johnson, who was not even supposed to be in the game.

In the meantime, Dempster's line does not read 4 2/3 and 6 earned runs yielded. Fielder does not have 4 rbis, and like Joe Morgan says, even if he ends the season with 96, that catch he will remember. ESPN repeated it often. No wonder. It was awesome, athletic, and shows how a game can turn on inches.

Later on in the game, Kevin Gregg proved why Carlos Marmol will be the closer in a month or less.

Well we call Milton Bradley 'Gameboard.' We know he is a problem child. We know he gets injured too often. We know that he wears out his welcome wherever he goes. Today we see why.

He should be back in a month or so, right?
