SP Ricardo Gil was placed on the Disabled List and SP Jeff Frith (24-R) was called up from Vancouver (A). He was 2-1 with a 2.12 ERA in 7 starts for the Mounties.

We also made a trade.

Trade #12:
3B Rick Roeger (24-L) to Cincinnati for C Jim Shippy (30-R).

Roeger is a decent fielder at several positions, but not much of a hitter. He was batting .233/.278/.256 in 90 AB with 0 HR and 12 RBI and 3 SB for Vancouver (A). Shippy is nothing much, but he is probably an upgrade over Craig Petitto....probably. He hit .214/.279/.250 in 56 AB with 0 HR and 7 RBI for Cincinnati. He at least has not allowed a passed ball and Petitto already has 4.

C Marcell Amici (31-R) has been sent back to Vancouver (A).

By the way, we are now in last place...

Portland Beavers (13-18 .419 7.5 GB in 8th (last) place in the PCL West) at
Houston Astros (11-20 .355 10 GB in 8th (last) place in the PCL East)

POR: John Cox (28-L Season debut) vs. HOU: Tommy Kessell (32-R 3-3 2.06)

Cox was 2-1 with a 4.15 ERA in 4 starts for Vancouver (A).

Kessell is their #1 starter. He has lost 2 in a row, but only allowed 2 runs in 7 IP in his last one.
