"I figured it was just another 'producer's daughter' bit," Henning said, explaining the reason she accepted was simply to find out what it was he really wanted. “He asked me out the first day," Henning said, but she thought his interest had more to do with Minor's desire to make a good impression on her producer father, Paul Henning, than truly wanting to get to know her. In 1968, Henning told the Sunday News that Minor asked her out basically the moment he laid eyes on her.

Petticoat Junction fans know, however, that when Henning got cast on her father Paul Henning's hit show, she soon found real chemistry with the actor who would later become her husband - both onscreen and offscreen - Mike Minor. Playing the lieutenant in this scene was pretty red-headed Petticoat Junction star Linda Kaye Henning, and in this scene, her chemistry with the Fonz is played for a joke, and the "whistling Dixie" line is a clear nod to her place in sitcom history. Then comes the come-on: "Listen, you and me, together soon, and that is an order." "You ain't whistling Dixie," Fonzie flirts. She's in charge of giving the Happy Days boys their physicals, as potential Army recruits. "You can’t really dwell on that."You're one of the healthiest men I've ever met," a pretty lieutenant tells Fonzie. But Votto’s home run only made it an 8-5 game, and the Nationals closed out the game and got the win. With that swing, Votto picked up his 2,048th career hit, which tied him with Johnny Bench for the fourth-most in Reds history. Reds first baseman Joey Votto hit a three-run home run in the eighth inning, continuing his two-week stretch as one of the most productive hitters in MLB. Against the Reds, Thomas homered three times in one game, and he accounted for three of Washington’s five home runs on Friday. 195 batting average and three home runs all season. Pham hit his seventh home run of the season, but that couldn’t match the Nationals’ offense as Washington left fielder Lane Thomas had three home runs. Pham crushed a fastball to straight-away center field, and it landed just over the fence and the outstretched glove of Nationals center fielder Victor Robles.

Pham has missed time over the last week due to suspension and a calf injury, but he showed on this swing why he’s the No. Reds left fielder Tommy Pham spotted the Reds a 2-0 lead with a home run to center field in the first inning. The next time, when he’s sharper and feeling better, we can push him a little bit further.”

Plus being his first time out, there’s some benefit at keeping him to a lower pitch count.


"We were doing everything we could to stay in the game. “He wasn’t as sharp as we know he can be," Bell said. It was a much shorter outing than Minor said he was expecting. As Minor kept locating pitches over the middle, the Nationals hitters took advantage.Įven though Minor threw only 60 pitches, Bell pulled him at the start of the fifth inning to put Gutierrez in the game. Minor rebounded with a scoreless fourth inning, but he still allowed a double in that inning on a fastball right down the middle.
