Brian Hagans was placed on the Disabled List and SP David Shoemake (27-R) has been called up. Shoemake was 2-1 with a 2.45 ERA in 6 starts for Vancouver (AAA).

It has been 10 days since we sent Jeff Schottler to Vancouver and he has acquitted himself well there, so we are bringing him back. He'll switch places with the struggling Woody Griesbach. In 9 games for Vancouver, Schottler hit .300 with a 1.014 OPS. 7 XBH with 3 HR, 7 R and 8 RBI.

Milwaukee Brewers (21-23 .477 6.5 GB in 4th place in the PCL East) at
Portland Beavers (27-19 .587 1 GB in 2nd place in the PCL West)

MIL: Tom LaForce (30-R 2-3 3.78) vs. POR: Angel Gaspar (23-R 1-1 3.75) Rookie

LaForce beat us last week, holding us to 5 hits and 2 runs (1 earned) in 8.1 IP.

Gaspar only have up 1 run and 3 hits in 6 IP in his last start, but the time before that Milwaukee roughed him up.

Top of the First:

Bill Valdez flies out to right. Tom Harriger works the count full and then draws a walk. Larry Reichler doubles to left center... Harriger stops at 3rd. Don Duggan flies out to shallow center, but Jeff Schottler has to make a diving catch and cannot make a throw to the plate from the ground, so Harriger trots home. 1 to 0, Brewers. Gene Belt strikes out.

Bottom of the First:
Tom Borden works the count full, but then strikes out. Omar Flores loops a hit to right. He steals 2nd. Dave Benya, who has cooled way off, grounds out to 1st, unassisted, and Flores goes to 3rd. Jeff Austin swings at the first pitch and grounds out to 2nd.

Top of the Second:

Pedro Perez leads off with a walk, steals 2nd and goes to 3rd on a wild pitch all in the span of 3 pitches... On the 4th pitch, Bob Coyne grounds out to 1st, unassisted, and Perez scores. 2 to 0, Brewers.

Bottom of the Third:
Tom Borden leads off with a hit and steals 2nd and then goes to 3rd on a ground out to the pitcher by Omar Flores. Dave Benya grounds out to 1st, unassisted, and Borden holds. The infield was NOT in... Jeff Austin draws a walk. Gordon Saunderson takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4 and the bases are loaded for Dave Lesley. He grounds out to the pitcher....

Bottom of the Seventh:

We go down in order with Tom Borden striking out on 3 pitches and getting ejected for arguing with the umpire... Tony Casarez, who pinch hit, will stay in to play left and Tony Socorro will go in to play 2nd and Dave Lesley will move over to short.

Bottom of the Eighth:
Omar Flores leads off with a home run to right! 2 to 1, Brewers. Dave Benya lines a hit to center. Jeff Austin grounds into a 5-4-3 double play... His second GDP of the day... He only had 1 on the season coming into the game.

Bottom of the Ninth:
New Pitcher: George Thomas (33-L), who the League has been abusing this season, but who has been lights out against us... We go down in order with PH Larry Sinchak (31-R) ending the game by grounding out to the pitcher....
