Ryan Feierabend earned his first Triple A win tonight, giving up only one run over six innings. After leaving with a 6-1 lead, Feierabend had to sweat out another shaky performance by the Rainier bullpen. Jon Huber pitched 1 1/3 innings and promptly imploded, giving up 4 runs and putting Las Vegas right back into what looked like a blowout win. Sean Green took over, pitched the last 1 2/3 innings and notched his first save.
Backup outfielder Jon Nelson was the hitting star for Tacoma, knocking in four runs including a bases-loaded double. Wladimir Balentien had a walk and a hit the day after his hitting streak came to an end. Same two teams tomorrow night at 7:11. Hard-luck starter Jorge Campillo (1-2, 3.24) takes the mound for Tacoma; lefty Eric Stults (2-0, 2.91) for Las Vegas.
