CINCINNATI, Ohio -- A rainout at Great American Ball Park did more than push Homer Baileys next attempt at pitching another no-hitter out of Cincinnati. It also raised the possibility, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy mentioned, of the Giants and Reds playing a makeup game at a neutral site. Thursdays game never got started and was called after a wait of nearly 2 1-2 hours. No makeup date was announced. This was the last day the Giants were scheduled to be in Cincinnati this season. The Reds visit San Francisco later this month. Reds manager Dusty Baker said he would keep his rotation intact. That would mean Bailey, who beat the Giants by pitching his second career no-hitter Tuesday night, wouldnt start Sunday at home against Seattle. Instead, Bailey would try to match Johnny Vander Meers 1938 achievement of pitching no-hitters in back-to-back starts on Monday in Milwaukee. Trying to find a makeup date for two teams that might be in playoff contention could be tricky. The Reds and Giants are both off Aug. 29. It would be the first day after the Reds finish a stretch of 20 games in 20 days and the last before they play 13 games in 13 days; it is also San Franciscos only day off between stretches of playing on 16 and 17 consecutive dates. Major League Baseball rules prohibit teams from playing more than 20 straight days without permission from the players union. Also, the Reds would be in the middle of a road trip to St. Louis and Colorado. The Giants would be in the middle of a trip to Colorado and Arizona. Could Coors Field in Denver be a convenient place to meet? "There are options they discussed for a makeup," Bochy said. "August 29 in Colorado. September 30, the day after the season, we would come here (Cincinnati). They discussed a split doubleheader at our place." Said Baker: "Were kicking it around, kicking it around about possible dates which are optimal." "There are none. Theres only one date when were both off, but that would make it 34 (straight) days for both," he said. This postponement was only the seventh rainout in the 11-year history of Great American Ball Park and the first since May 1, 2012, against the Cubs. Even before the rain, Cincinnatis Chris Heisey figured it was a long shot that he would play Thursday despite homering and driving in two runs the previous day. It became a sure thing for Heisey and everyone else when the finale of the four-game series was postponed by rain. Heisey made his first start after spending nearly two months on the disabled list with a strained right hamstring, playing in Wednesday nights 3-2, 11-inning win. Even if the rain had stopped in time for Thursdays game to be played, he figured Bakers caution would keep him on the bench. "(Baker) usually has a good idea of when you can play and when you cant, but I told him that Im feeling great, and Im ready to play whenever he needs me," he said. Sure enough, Heisey wasnt in Bakers starting lineup, in part because right-hander Matt Cain was San Franciscos scheduled starter. That wasnt the only reason. "I kept my eye on him. Usually, when you get hurt is when you get fatigued," Baker said before the game was called. Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Cain will start the opener of a three-game series against the Dodgers on Friday in San Francisco. "No changes right now," Bochy said about his rotation. "Cain goes (Friday). (Madison) Bumgarner on Saturday. The plan right now is (Chad) Gaudin on Sunday." Gaudin has been on the disabled list since June 24, retroactive to June 21, with a bruised right elbow. Basket Nike Solde .C. Lions has come to an end.

Sky Sports News HQ understands Mourinho is willing to accept suitable bids for the two players shortly after taking charge at Manchester United, with neither player fitting his physical profile for their respective positions.Sky Bet have wasted little time in pricing up where the duo will head next with some of Europes top sides expected to be alerted by their availability. Heres a look at their possible next clubs...Daley Blinds next club odds Blind has spent the majority of his season paired with Chris Smalling at centre-back Ajax (11/8 with Sky Bet)Blinds versatility is sure to appeal to plenty of clubs but a return to his first club Ajax is deemed most likely. The 26-year-old played over 100 times for the Dutch giants, winning the Eredivisie four times and being named Dutch Footballer of the Year in his final season before being sold to United.If appreciation of his talents and domestic silverware are his main desires then a return to the Amsterdam ArenA looks the right fit. However, much is likely to depend on the budget handed to their new manager Peter Bosz, who was appointed after Frank de Boer decided to leave following a failure to capture a fifth successive league title.Southampton (6/1)If Blind is looking to remain in England but under the guidance of another Dutchman then St Marys is the perfect place. The question is where hed fit into the Saints side, with right-back being their area of greatest need as Ryan Bertrand has the left side pinned down and defensive midfielders are plentiful.However, with Europa League football added to next seasons schedule, Ronald Koeman will undoubtedly be looking to add some depth to his talented squad this summer and Blinds versatility and quality would certainly enhance their cause. Blind admitted he was disappointed when Louis van Gaal left Everton (8/1)The Toffees are certainly in need of some fresh faces, especially if John Stones departs. An appointment of fellow Dutchman De Boer is sure to see Evertons odds of landing Blind tumble, although betting on the next manager at Goodison Park remains wide open. Other optionsValencia are next in the line in Sky Bets market, with Celtic, Schalke, Sevilla and Borussia Monchengladbach also considered possible destinations for Blind to compete in the Europa League next season.Juan Matas next club odds Mata scored six times for United as they finished fifth Valencia (3/1)Once again, it is a return to a first club looking most likely with Mata establishing himself as one of Europes most sought-after talents during his spell at the Mestalla.dddddddddddd While the Spaniard would surely welcome the adulation back at Valencia after lacking appreciation during his last few seasons in England, it remains to be seen whether hed be willing to join a side absent from Europe after finishing 12th in La Liga. Pako Ayestaran is also unlikely to have sufficient budget to match Matas wages, let alone Uniteds demands, even though their top-paid player Alvaro Negredo looks set to leave this summer.Sevilla (5/1)The Europa League champions look a more suitable fit in terms of aspirations, having booked their place in Europes top-tier tournament at the expense of Liverpool. They also need to boost their ranks having finished seventh in La Liga, winning just once on the road, but have been more renowned for their exporting and development of talent than buying stars in recent years.Much is also likely to depend on a potential shake up in their management ranks, with highly rated technical director Monchi reportedly considering an approach from Manchester United, while manager Unai Emery is second favourite for the Everton job. Mata failed to fit into Jose Mourinhos Chelsea system Chelsea (6/1)Could Mata return to the club which discarded him under Mourinho? The 28-year-old certainly impressed before the Special One took the reins, claiming their 2012/13 Player of the Year award and making the PFA Team of the Season. However, current boss Antonio Conte is renowned for a high-pressing and direct style of play, which might well count against the Spanish playmaker once again.PSG (6/1)PSG could also comfortably match Matas financial demands and are probably the side United will be most keen to receive interest from given their willingness to spend big. The French giants are likely to be linked with almost every top name around the continent this summer as they look to strengthen their chances of winning Europes top prize and replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Other optionsTwo of Spains top sides follow in the betting with Atletico Madrid 8/1 and Barcelona 10s. The latter seems a more natural technical fit for Mata, although it remains to be seen where he would fit into their star-studded side. Arsenals (12/1) style would also suit but Arsene Wenger will surely have higher priorities than adding more creativity to his squad, while United would presumably prefer to sell abroad.
