RP Jerry Wilhelm (32-L) was waived and designated for assignment. If he clears waivers he will go to Vancouver (AAA) to play out his contract and be a free agent at the end of the season. We called up RP Curt Riley (35-R). He had a 1.88 ERA with 25 SO in 24 IP for Vancouver.

Minnesota Twins (44-48 .478 10.5 GB in 5th place in the PCL East) at
Portland Beavers (54-38 .587 in 1st place in the PCL West)

MIN: Jose Nieves (28-R 8-10 3.46) vs. POR: Ron Wolf (27-R 10-5 3.05)

Nieves is their #1 starter and the only one in their current rotation with an ERA under 4.94. We are 2-1 against him, but he has pitched 2 really good ball games against us.

Wolf has lost 3 decisions in a row, counting the All-Star game. He gave up 6 runs in 5 innings his last time out.

Attendance: 17,337

Top of the First:
Dwight Marshall lines out to left. Mike Francoeur flies out to shallow right. Juan Rodriguez grounds out to 2nd! 1-2-3!

Bottom of the First:
Dale Ainsworth grounds out to 2nd. Perry Templet pops out to left. Randy James walks on 4 pitches. Gary Long grounds out to short.

Bottom of the Third:
Eddie Thomas, who has cooled off considerably form his good start with the Beavers, leads off with a hit, gets bunted to 2nd by P Ron Wolf and goes to 3rd on a wild pitch. Dale Ainsworth walks on 4 pitches and then steals 2nd. Perry Templet grounds out to 3rd and Thomas scores. 1 to 0, Beavers!

Top of the Fourth:
Dwight Marshall leads off with a double to center and Mike Francoeur beats out an infield hit to put runners at 1st and 3rd with no outs. Cleanup hitter Juan Rodriguez lines one hard to deep left center and Perry Templet makes a running catch, but Marshall trots home with the tying run. 1 to 1. Francoeur steals 2nd and C Dennis Webb throws the ball into center field and Francoeur goes to 3rd. Jamie Cutshall flies out to shallow left and Francoeur decides to go and he beats the throw to the plate. 2 to 1, Twins.

Top of the Fifth:
With 2 outs, #8 hitter, Jerry Walker, hits his 2nd home run of the season in 243 AB.... 3 to 1, Twins.

Bottom of the Fifth:
With 2 outs, P Ron Wolf doubles to right center and Dale Ainsworth knocks him home! 3 to 2, Twins.

Bottom of the Seventh:
With 2 outs, Eddie Thomas hits his first home run as a Beaver! Tie game: 3 to 3! It is his 3rd home run overall on the season. With 2 outs and the bases empty P Ron Wolf is allowed to hit, even though I am aware that this will certainly mean that he gives up runs in the top of the Eighth....

Top of the Eighth:
They go down 1-2-3! They let P Jose Nieves make the last out.

Bottom of the Eighth:
The top of our order and we go down 1-2-3....

Top of the Ninth:
Top of their order: I was planning on letting P Ron Wolf face righty Dwight Marshall and then pull him, but they send up a pinch-hitter: Don Morse (27-L), so I pull him now. New Pitcher: Lou Hertzberg (29-L). Morse strikes out! Mike Francoeur drives one into the gap in right center. He hits 2nd and keeps going, but CF Perry Templet nails him at 3rd!!!! Juan Rodriguez strikes out looking!

Joe Harrison bunts the runners up. 1 out. C Dennis Webb is up and he cannot hit lefties. I am thinking that whoever I send up will get walked, so I send up PH Glenn Pearce (39-R). If they do not walk him, he is still good for getting a hit. They walk him. Eddie Thomas is up and he is allowed to hit, because he is not bad against lefties. He grounds into a 6-2-3 double play....

Extras!
