We are in Sacramento to finish up our two week road trip with two games in California's capital. We split a pair of games with the Solons in Portland, April 24-25. They were swept in 3 games here by San Francisco over the weekend and have lost 6 of their last 7. They are 13th in scoring in the PCL with 4.18 runs per game (Portland is still last with 3.59). That 4.18 per game average would put the Solons 6th in the NL, where the ERA is only 3.44 so far this year. The PCL league ERA is 4.09. They are 7th in fewest runs allowed with 4.50 per game (Portland is 6th with 4.22).

Portland Beavers (15-22 .405 10 GB in 8th (last) place in the PCL West) at
Sacramento Solons (20-18 .526 5.5 GB in 3rd place in the PCL West)

POR: Steve Muir (26-R 2-3 4.18) vs. SAC: Juan Sanchez (26-R 3-4 6.35)

Muir had a good outing last time out with 2 runs allowed in 7.1 IP, after getting shelled twice in a row, but he nonetheless lost his 3rd straight start.

We scored 5 runs in 5 innings off Sanchez in Portland and beat him.
