LF Kim Springer (21-L) has been sent to Vancouver (A). LF Don Neumann (32-S) has been recalled.

We are in San Diego to play the Padres a 4 game series through the weekend. They just ended a 6 game winning streak by losing a pair of games at home to Los Angeles. This is our first meeting with them this year. We were 3-11 against them last season. They are 9th in scoring in the PCL with 3.88 runs per game (Portland is still last, but tied now with Seattle at 3.50!). The Padres are 2nd in fewest runs allowed with 3.23 per game (Portland is back to 8th with 4.03). Their run differential is +26 and ours is -21.

Portland Beavers (18-22 .450 10 GB tied for 6th place in the PCL West) at
San Diego Padres (21-19 .525 7 GB tied for 3rd place in the PCL West)

POR: Steve Muir (27-R 3-2 1.95) vs. SD: Bobby Wolfe (25-R 3-3 1.89)

Muir has had 5 excellent starts in a row. His last was his worst in that stretch with 2 runs allowed in 7 IP on 4 H. It was a no decision. He is the last Beaver starter to win a game and that was 11 days ago... he is 4th in the PCL in ERA.

We were 1-1 against Wolfe last year, but scored well in both games (11 R in 8.2 IP). Every start of his this year has been a Quality one, except 1 where he only went 5 innings, but he only allowed 1 run in that game. He is currently 3rd in the PCL in ERA.
