Mike Aviles knocked 2 homeruns at SAFECO Field as the Gateway Redbirds beat
the Tacoma Rainiers by the count of 3 to 2.
 
Tacoma found themselves trailing quickly as the Gateway bats came through in
the first inning plating an isolated run.  After an out was recorded, Aviles
single-handedly provided a rally, as he belted a solo home run.  Tacoma made
it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across.
 
Armando Galarraga(7-2) went 7 and 2/3 innings allowing 2 runs for the win.
Galarraga got help from Carlos Zambrano who earned his 1st save.  Clayton
Richard(9-10) ended up with the loss.  He served up 3 homeruns in his 7
innings.  
 
Michael Swanson was subdued when questioned after the game, 'Sure, this kind
of loss takes a while to get over, but heck, we're all professionals.  We've
been through this many times - it's the nature of the game.  We'll be fine -
as for me - I'll be ready to go again tomorrow!'
