We are in San Diego for the shortest road trip in history. We'll play two games here before we head back home. The Padres just won 2 of 3 up in Los Angeles over the weekend, winning games by scores of 1 to 0 and 2 to 1 and losing, 11 to 5. We were just here two weeks ago and swept them in 3 games. They are last in the PCL in scoring with 2.92 runs per game (Portland is tied for 1st with the Seals at 5.84!). They are hitting .201 as a team (last) and we are up to .273 (4th). They are 11th in fewest runs allowed with 4.67 per game (Portland is still #1 with 2.80). Their run differential is -42 and ours is +76, the best in Baseball! We are 17-8, but 3 games UNDER our Pythagorean projection!

Portland Beavers (17-8 .680 in 1st place in the PCL West) at
San Diego Padres (9-15 .375 7.5 GB in 7th place in the PCL West)

POR: Bill Woodward (22-R 2-1 3.96) Rookie vs. SD: Bobby Wolfe (26-R 2-2 4.60)

Woodward pitched a CG 5 hitter last time out, giving up a home run with 2 outs in the 9th to spoil the shutout.

Wolfe has given up at least 4 runs in each of his last 4 starts, one of which was here against the Beavers. We scored 5 runs (4 earned) in 3.2 IP.
