We put LF Fernando Mexicano (20-L) on the Disabled List and called up C Marcell Amici (31-R). He was batting .313/.389/.344 at Vancouver (A). With no catchers who can hit, having 3 on the active roster will let us pinch-hit for them more often. However, finding someone who can hit for them may be problematic....

Seattle Rainiers (9-13 .409 5.5 GB in 7th place in the PCL West) at
Portland Beavers (12-10 .545 2.5 GB in 4th place in the PCL West)

SEA: Marty Becker (35-L 2-2 3.90) vs. POR: Duane Howard (29-R 1-1 7.30) Rookie

Becker started the year with 3 good starts, capped by a CG win where he allowed 7 hits and 1 run. But his last time out, he gave up 5 runs in 3 innings.

Howard started his season with two 6 inning outings where he allowed 2 runs in each, but then was shelled for 7 runs in the 1st inning, only retiring 1 batter last time. That was 10 day ago.
