We are back home to begin a 7 game home stand that will last 10 days with 2 games against the Sacramento Solons. They won 3 out of 4 in San Diego over the weekend. They are 13th in the PCL in scoring so far with 3.84 runs per game (Portland is dead last with 3.47). That's what happens when you trade one 40+ HR hitter away and the other quits hitting home runs.... The Solons have only hit 9 HR on the season, but we have only hit 8, the fewest in Baseball. Sacramento is also 13th in fewest runs allowed with 4.95 per game (Portland is down to #3 with 3.68). We are going to drop a lot further before the season is over...
