P Roger Lerer has been sent to Vancouver (A).

Trade #27:

Minor League 2B Franklin Felix (24-R) to Pittsburgh for minor league P Rondey Moe (26-R).

Moe was 9-13 with a 3.83 ERA in 29 starts for the Pirates last year. He is 4-2 with a 2.83 ERA for Tucson (A) this season. He has control issues. He will get a shot at the Beaver rotation.

Los Angeles Angels (19-17 .528 7.5 GB in 4th place in the PCL West) at
Portland Beavers (17-20 .459 10 GB in 5th place in the PCL West)

LA: Tom Sayers (26-R Major League debut) Rookie vs. POR: Joe Hoehn (27-R Major League debut) Rookie

Both pitchers are making their Major League debuts today!

Sayers was a first round pick for the Angels in this year's B Leagues draft, but has not pitched in a live game in 8 months due to surgery to repair a torn labrum last September. They elected not to send him to Edmonton (A) to get in shape. Hopefully, he is rusty and we can get a hit or two. He hit .328 with a .805 OPS in B Ball.

We got Hoehn in a trade with Kansas City a few days ago. He has been stuck in A Ball because the Royals have one of the best rotations in Baseball. In 42 A Ball starts, he was 25-11 with 2.59 ERA and 1.6 BB/9. He is not a hard thrower and lets the batter get himself out, but also will give up some home runs.

Bottom of the First:

Brian Mitchell grounds out to 2nd. Kim Springer strikes out... Sayer is not looking rusty... He's hitting 95+ on the radar gun... Fernando Mexicano lines a hit to center. Glenn Snowden takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4. Rick Woodell swings at the first pitch and lines out to 3rd.

Top of the Sixth:
PH Oscar Trejo (29-R) leads off with a double to left center. The Bullpen is up. Britt Snyder grounds a hit to center and Trejo scores. 1 to 0, Angels. Rodolfo Rosado grounds a double play ball to short, but Juan Rojas boots it... Irv Hill swings at a 3-2 pitch and doubles to right center and Snyder scores. 2 to 0, Angels. Call to the Bullpen: Dick Register (28-L). Bruce Lundvall lines a hit to center and both runners score... Lundvall ends up on 2nd after the throw home... 4 to 0, Angels.
