Los Angeles Angels (18-17 .514 7.5 GB in 4th place in the PCL West) at
Portland Beavers (17-19 .472 9 GB in 5th place in the PCL West)
LA: Sam Henderson (28-R 3-3 3.20) All-Star vs. POR: Roger Lerer (28-L Season debut)
Henderson is their #1 starter. He held us to 2 runs in 7 IP on Opening Day, in a no decision.
This will the first start of 2002 for Lerer. Two questions: will he be any good and will he make it through the game without getting hurt?

Top of the First:
Britt Snyder grounds a hit to right. Rodolfo Rosado grounds a hit to center and Snyder goes to 3rd. Irv Hill grounds a 3-2 pitch to center and Snyder scores and Rosado goes to 3rd. 1 to 0, Angels. Well, that's the first question answered with a resounding no... Charlie Allen grounds into a force at 2nd, 1-4, and Rosado holds at 3rd. Dan Hamel doubles to right and Rosado scores. 2 to 0, Angels. The Bullpen is up. Fernando Vargas walks to load the bases up. Dale Schafer grounds into a force at 2nd, 5-4, and Allen scores. 3 to 0, Angels. Bill Harris nubs one in front of the plate and is out, 2-3.
Bottom of the First:
We have never scored 3 runs off Henderson in a single game, so this one is already over.... Brian Mitchell grounds out to 2nd. Kim Springer takes a 3-2 pitch for strike three... Fernando Mexicano strikes out...
Top of the First:
With 1 out, Britt Snyder singles to center. Rodolfo Rosado grounds one to 1st and Glenn Snowden, the Gold Glover, boots it for his 8th error already this season... He only had 9 all of last year... They pull off a double steal and then a wild pitch scores Snyder... 4 to 0, Angels. Irv Hill strikes out. Charlie Allen takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4... Dan Hamel doubles down the right field lines and Rosado scores.... 5 to 0, Angels. Okay, I need to go get on the phone and try to trade for another starting pitcher... We have no one worth a hoot at Vancouver (A)....
Bottom of the Fifth:
We get our first hit of the game: a home run to right center by Rick Woodell. 5 to 1, Angels.
