Defs fall 5-4 in Portland............

Eugenio Velez, Trey Webb, John Bowker (double, 2 run HR), Steve Holm (7th HR), and Simon Klink all had two hits each. But they leave 13 runners on and lack that one big hit to break it open.
Geno Espineli (5 IP, 5H, 5ER, 6Ks) takes the loss. Justin Hedrick pitches three shutout innings in relief.

Carlos Sosa plays first as Pat Dobson gets a night off.
