It has been 10 days, so we recalled RP Steve Stewart (24-L) from Vancouver (A) and returned Jon Weekley (28-R) to the Mounties. Weekley had a good stint for the 10 days he was here and I was tempted to send Ramon Andrade down, but we did not see the point of getting him upset.

We are back home in Portland to play the Sacramento Solons a 2 game set. They won 2 of 3 at Hollywood over the weekend. We are 4-2 against them on the season and split a pair of games the last time they were here, June 14-15. They are 12th in the PCL in scoring with 3.64 runs per game (Portland is #4 with 4.47). The Solons are 15th in fewest runs allowed with 4.65 per game (Portland is #1 with 3.21). Their run differential is -82 and ours is +102, still 2nd behind San Diego's +111.

Sacramento Solons (33-48 .407 21 GB in 7th place in the PCL West) at
Portland Beavers (54-27 .667 2 GA in 1st place in the PCL West)

SAC: Joe Delesky (23-R 2-4 4.67) Rookie vs. POR: Barry Phillips (21-R 9-3 2.23) Gold Glove

Delesky is 0-3 in his last 4 starts. Last time out, he allowed 4 runs on 8 hits, a home run and 5 walks in 5 IP and took a loss. We faced him the last time the Solons were here and beat him, scoring 5 runs in 4 IP with 2 HR.

Phillips gave up 1 run and 3 hits in 7 IP last time out to earn his 1st win in a month.
