Justin Lehr pitched six innings to pick up his first victory of the year as Tacoma beat Fresno for the second straight night. The Rainiers notched runs in four of the first five innings, including three against Grizzly starter Erick Threets in just 2.2 innings. While Lehr picked up the win, the pitching star for this game might well be a rapidly improving bullpen Renee Cortez and Eric O'Flaherty contributed three scoreless innings, with O'Flaherty picking up his third save.
Jon Nelson was the hitting star for the Rainiers, picking up two hits and an RBI double. Same two tomorrow night for game three at 6:05. Jim Parque (0-1, 9.31) continues his comeback against Matt Kinney (1-1, 4.15).
