We were 12-12 in April, but after 2 of our starting pitchers and our #1 draft pick were hurt, we went 9-20 in May...

LF Fernando Mexicano (20-L) was activated from the DL and OF Sergio Vallejo (26-R) was sent back to Vancouver (A).

SS Juan Rojas (22-S) was sent down to Vancouver (A) and SS Scott Plourde (22-S) was called up.

We are in Oakland to play 3 games over the weekend. We won 3 of 4 here, April 19-22. They just split 4 games in Milwaukee. The Oaks are 8th in scoring with 4.55 runs per game (Portland is still last with 3.77). They are 11th in fewest runs allowed with 4.94 per game (Portland is 8th with 4.51). We had a 3.14 ERA in April, but a 4.99 ERA in May... Starters: 3.53 in April, 5.13 in May. Relievers: 2.54 in April, 4.71 in May. The Bullpen has no injury excuses.

Portland Beavers (21-32 .396 14.5 GB in 8th (last) place in the PCL West) at
Oakland Oaks (25-28 .472 10.5 GB in 7th place in the PCL West)

POR: Rex Williams (24-R 0-1 5.06) Rookie vs. OAK: John Bremseth (32-R 1-5 5.30)

Williams had to make his Major League debut in Coors Field, so he has excuses for allowing 5 runs (3 earned) in 5.1 IP. But his second start is in the Oakland Coliseum, so there will be no excuses after this one.

We beat Bremseth back in April, but only scored 3 runs in 7.2 innings. He has lost his last 3 starts and has not pitched well in any of them.
