Trudy the Trainer was the bearer of bad news today. She says the doctors have reevaluated 2B Shannon Kuchta's thumb and have decided that additional surgery is required. We were expecting him back in a week or two, but he will now be out the rest of the season. So Kuchta has likely played his last game for the Beavers... We still expect to get P Rondey Moe (26-R) back tomorrow and CF Brian Mitchell (21-L) the day after that. Moe will not go to rehab, but Mitchell probably will. The Los Angeles Angels are in town to play a short two game set. The defending PCL West Champs have hit a tough patch. They lost 2 of 3 at San Diego over the weekend and are 5-12 in July. Maybe we are just what they need, since we are 3-6 against them on the season and got swept in 3 games the last time they visited us, May 10-12. The Angels are 13th in scoring with 3.71 runs per game (Portland is up to a tie for 6th with 4.26!). They are 4th in fewest runs allowed with 3.83 per game (Portland is 8th with 4.19). Their run differential is -11 and ours is +7! The only team other than San Francisco that is better in the division is behind us in the standings (San Diego). Oakland and Hollywood both have winning records, but negative run differentials. The Angels, who built their team on dominant starting pitching, have three members of their rotation on the DL. Los Angeles Angels (48-50 .490 19 GB in 4th place in the PCL West) at Portland Beavers (47-52 .475 20.5 GB in 5th place in the PCL West) LA: Tom Sayers (26-R 1-5 5.00) Rookie vs. POR: Steve Muir (27-R 8-7 2.81) Gold Glove Sayers is another example of a pitcher who has had trouble getting anyone out except when he faces the Beavers. His lone win was against us when he shut us out for 5 innings on May 12. It was hist first start Major League start and his first anywhere after missing nearly a year after shoulder surgery. No rehab. He has lost his last 4 starts in a row. Muir was rocked for 5 runs and 10 hits in 4.1 IP last time out, but we won the game anyway.

We inked P Garry Ayers (29-R) to an extension last night. 1 year for $380,000, which gives him a $5,000 raise over this season. He is the only player we have eligible for free agency this winter that we wanted to retain. The others that we have no interest in: C Darrel Milewski (31-R) (remember him?), IF Rich Cruz (30-R), LF Don Neumann (32-S). Houston Astros (47-57 .452 23.5 GB in 6th place in the PCL East) at Portland Beavers (50-54 .481 21.5 GB in 4th place in the PCL West) HOU: Eduardo Sandoval (25-R 1-3 5.97) Rookie vs. POR: Frank Flores (23-R 9-7 2.85) Rookie We faced Sandoval in Houston, but not for long. He retired the first four batters of the game and then had to leave with an injury. He gave up 6 runs in 2.1 IP in his last start. Flores ended a 3 game losing streak last time out by tying the Beaver record for SO with 10 in 8 IP and only 2 runs allowed.

Jim Sager pops out to 2nd. Russ Jimenez grounds out to 3rd. Time for a 2 out hit... Mike Oakley doubles to right center and Holle scores. 1 to 0, Astros. How 'bout another? Bob Alsip lines a hit to center and Oakley scores... 2 to 0, Astros. Alsip end up on 2nd. Tony Norris grounds out to short. Bottom of the First: Larry Ballard strikes out. Jack Hinckley grounds out to the pitcher. Fernando Martinez grounds a double down the right field line. Glenn Snowden flies out ti right... Top of the Second: With 2 outs, P Eduardo Sandoval grounds a hit to right and ends up on 2nd when Jack Hinckley overruns the ball... Ed Holle swings at the first pitch and hits a home run to right... 4 to 0, Astros. Okay, we are going to take a walk.... After the first two batters were put out in the inning, the next 7 reached base and we are losing, 7 to 0.... Lost - 8 to 4 We had 6 hits and made 1 error Houston had 15 hits and made 1 error Frank Flores (L 9-8) went 1.2 innings, allowed 7 runs, 8 hits, 1 home run, no walks and struck out no one. RHP Rich Larkin hot 1 out and gave up 2 hits, allowing both runners on base to score. RHP David Fuentes went 2 scoreless innings, allowed 1 hit and struck out 1. RHP Jim Kokos went 3 innings, allowed 1 run, 2 hits and struck out 3. RHP Garry Ayers went 2 scoreless innings, allowed 2 hits, 1 walk and struck out 1. Eduardo Sandoval (W 2-3) went 5 innings, gave us 4 runs, 5 hits, 1 home run, 2 walks and struck out 4. At bat, he had a hit and scored a run. LF Fernando Martinez hit a double and had an RBI. 3B Rick Woodell hit his 7th home run of the season and had 2 RBI. C Rick Mansoor hit a double and drew a walk and scored a run. 2B Juan Rojas had 2 hits with a double and an RBI. For Houston, LF Ed Holle hit 2 doubles and his 3rd home run, scored 3 runs and had 2 RBI. 2B Russ Jimenez had 3 hits, stole a base and scored a run. RF Mike Oakley had 3 hits with a double, scored 2 runs and had 2 RBI. In the bottom of the 9th, we got 2 men on base with 1 out and the pitcher due up to bat. It came down to deciding between C Jim Shippy and CF Esteban Mondolfo to pinch hit. I decided on Mondolfo because he was less likely, it seemed, to ground into a double play, being speedy and all. Mondolfo ended the game with a GDP... Trudy the Trainer had a report to file, because P David Fuentes had to leave the game with an injury. She says he just has a sore ankle that will bother him for a day or two. |

We are in Oakland to close out the month with a 3 game series. The Oaks split 4 games at Denver over the weekend. We are 4-3 against them on the season and swept them in 4 games the last time we were here, April 18-21. They are 7th in the PCL in scoring with 4.27 runs per game (Portland is up to 4th with 4.36). The Oaks are 3rd in HR with 101 and Portland is #1 with 111. They are 13th in fewest runs allowed with 4.50 per game (Portland is 8th with 4.19). Their run differential is -24 and ours is +18, though they have a winning record and we have a losing one... Portland Beavers (50-55 .476 22.5 GB in 4th place in the PCL West) at Oakland Oaks (56-49 .533 16.5 GB tied for 2nd place in the PCL West) POR: Duke McKenzie (24-R 2-3 4.12) Rookie vs. OAK: Greg Ware (26-L 13-4 2.55) All-Star McKenzie has won his last two starts and looked pretty good doing it. He allowed 1 run and 4 H in 7 IP last time out. He is prone to the long ball, though, and the Oaks are prolific at hitting them, so I do not expect this to go well. Ware is their #1 starter. He was their closer last year. He beat us the only time we have faced him this season, striking out 12 in 8 IP, but we did get 4 runs.

We are back home to play the Seattle Rainiers a 3 game series over the weekend. They just won 2 of 3 in Los Angeles. We are 2-4 against them on the season and split a pair of games the last time they were in Portland, June 18-19. They are 15th in scoring in the PCL with 3.63 runs per game (Portland is 4th with 4.37). They are 8th in fewest runs allowed with 4.20 per game (Portland is 7th with 4.14). So now we are in the top half in both scoring and defense, but still have a losing record... Seattle's run differential is -61 and ours is +25.

We are in Kansas City to play the Royals a 4 game series through the weekend. They just beat the Astros in a pair of games here. We lost 3 of 4 to them in Portland, April 8-11. They are 6th in scoring in the PCL with 4.32 runs per game (Portland is 4th with 4.38). The Royals lead with PCL in fewest runs allowed with 3.05 per game (Portland is 7th with 4.10). Their team ERA is 2.71. Their Bullpen ERA is a league best 2.09. Our Bullpen has been a bit better of late and its ERA is down to 3.81, but still worse than the league average of 3.41. The Royals run differential is +142, the 2nd best in Baseball. The best is, believe or not, the Minnesota Twins at +143, who are 12 games behind the Royals in the standings. Ours is +32.

We have officially listed him as our #1 starter over Bobby Johnson. Oh, how I wish had noticed that Al Johnson was 7' tall back at the B Leagues draft of 2001... I would have surely traded for him instead of Bobby Johnson. We have not faced him this year, but we were 1-1 against him last season. We beat him in his 2nd Major League start, but he shut us out the 2nd time on 4 hits.

The Sacramento Solons are here to play a 3 game series over the weekend. They just won 3 of 4 in Houston. We are 6-3 against them on the season and split a pair of games the last time they visited us, July 2-3. They are 15th in scoring in the PCL with 3.68 runs per game (Portland is down to 6th with 4.30). The Solons are 8th in fewest runs allowed with 4.14 per game (Portland is 6th with 4.05). Their run differential is -56 and ours is +30. The Solons were 1 of 2 teams in the PCL (Denver) who did not have a player make the All-Star team this season. Denver is the only team in Baseball to not have any players chosen in the past two seasons. Sacramento's one All-Star from last season, 2B Jim Holberton, is currently on the DL.

He is 0-1 against us in 2 starts this year, but had Quality Starts both times. Moe has gone at least 7 innings in 3 straight starts, but was only 1-0.

We faced him last year and beat him, but only scored 1 run in 7 IP. McKenzie has allowed 9 runs and 15 hits in his last two starts (8 IP). He only lost one of the games, though.
