Friday, May 31, Year II

2B Paul Bouvet (26R) was activated from the Disabled List and 2B Tony Socorro (29-R) was sent back to Vancouver (AAA).

We are in San Diego to play 3 games for 1st place in the PCL West. We come into the series 3 percentage points ahead of them. They just suffered a sweep of 3 games in Denver and had lost 5 of their last 6 after winning 10 of 11 before that. It's been 6 weeks since we swept them in 3 games in Portland, April 15-17. The Padres are 5th in the PCL in scoring with 4.13 runs per game (Portland is down to #10 with 3.46). Do you remember when we were leading the League in HR with 16 after 16 games? We have had 14 in the last 34 games and are now 10th. They are 5th in fewest runs allowed with 3.73 per game (Portland is #2 with 3.08).

Portland Beavers (29-21 .580 in 1st place in the PCL West) at
San Diego Padres (30-22 .577 0 GB in 2nd place in the PCL West)

POR: Angel Gaspar (23-R 1-2 3.48 ERA) Rookie vs. SD: Javier Reyna (33-R 5-4 3.01)

We scored 5 runs against Reyna and beat him back in April

Gaspar has allowed 3 total runs and 8 hits in his last 2 starts, but is 0-1.
