LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The favorite was pulled at the start of the week.

Brett Sinkbeil has been looking forward to this weekend for quite a while.

It’s an opportunity for the Sand Springs native to spend some time at home — or, at least close to home — as New Orleans continues its baseball series with Oklahoma City at AT&T Bricktown Ballpark.
