Friday, April 6, Year I

We are in Los Angeles to play a 3 game series over the weekend. Today will be their Home Opener. They took 2 of 3 in San Francisco to start the season. The Angels are the defending division champs, having won 94 games last season. They were 3rd in scoring with 731 runs last year and 1st in home runs with 191. That is a lot for this league. 2nd place San Diego had 168. They were first in fewest runs allowed with 613. Their 3.32 ERA led they League.

Portland Beavers (1-2 .333 2 GB tied for 4th place (not last!) in the PCL West) at
Los Angeles Angels (2-1 .667 1 GB tied for 2nd place in the PCL West)

POR: Frank Martin (26-R) vs LA: Allen Sanders (28-R)

For the second straight day, we send out a pitcher who will be making his first Major League start and we'll do it again tomorrow. Martin did pitch a little in relief last year for San Francisco, but he is still a rookie.

Sanders is a good pitcher and a rarity in that he throws no breaking pitch. He throws a 4 seam fastball, a cut fastball and a changeup, all from an over-the-top delivery. He pitches mostly to contact and has excellent control. Plus he is a fine upstanding hard worker, a real leader in the Angels' clubhouse.
