The San Antonio Missions are here to kick off the second half with a 4 game series through the weekend. They lost 3 of 4 at Sacramento to end the first half last weekend. We won 3 of 4 games in San Antonio, April 8-11, holding them to 5 totals runs. They are last in the PCL in scoring with 2.85 runs per game (Portland is #4 with 4.54). The Missions are on pace to score 462 runs for the season, which would shatter the current record for futility in the PCL of 575 runs scored by the San Diego Padres last year. The Major League mark is 515 runs scored by Brooklyn in 2001. The Padres, by the way, are on pace to score 738 runs this season. The Missions are 11th in fewest runs allowed with 4.41 per game (Portland is #1 with 3.17). Their run differential is -136, the worst in Baseball, and ours is +119, now the best in Baseball! Which means we are likely to lose 3 of 4 games this series...

He has had a great game and it will be a shame to see him get a loss... 1 hit and no unintentional walks allowed...

He has been reinstated as their closer over Larry Hedglin, who was the closer when he blew a Save and took a loss on Friday. Denny Peters flies out to deep center...

We are in Seattle to play the Rainiers a 3 game series over the weekend. They were just swept here in 4 games by Milwaukee. We are 3-3 against them on the season and lost a pair of games the last time we were here, May 17-18. They are 8th in scoring in the PCL with 4.31 runs per game (Portland is down to #5 with 4.42). We have hit 3 total home runs in the last 11 games, all of them by 1B Glenn Snowden. The Rainiers are 10th in fewest runs allowed with 4.38 per game (Portland is still #1 with 3.23). Their run differential is -6 and ours is +113, still the Best in Baseball.

We are back home to play the Hollywood Stars a 2 game set. They lost 2 of 3 in San Francisco over the weekend. We are 6-3 against them this season and won 2 games the last time they were here, June 28-29. They are 12th in the PCL in scoring with 3.47 runs per game (Portland is up to #3 with 4.52). They are 5th in fewest runs allowed with 3.81 per game (Portland is #1 with 3.17). Their run differential is -33 and ours is +132, still the Best in Baseball. Hollywood Stars (49-49 .500 16 GB in 4th place in the PCL West) at Portland Beavers (65-33 .663 6 GA in 1st place in the PCL West) HOL: Antonio Gonzalez (25-L 4-2 1.85) vs. POR: Frank Flores (25-R 13-5 2.56) All-Star/PCLCS MVP Gonzalez is their #1 starter. He gave up 3 runs in 5.1 IP last time out in a no decision. He cannot throw 100 pitches anymore due to his numerous injuries; I do not know why they do not put him in the Bullpen. We have faced him twice this season, including on Opening Day and have not scored a run off him, but he was no wins and has only pitched 6.1 innings. Flores will be making his 3rd try at becoming the 1st 14 game winner in the Majors. If he does not get it this game, he is going to get passed. He last two starts since pitching in the All-Star Game have been duds, allowing 9 runs (7 earned) in 8.2 total innings.
