In a game for the baseball purist, Rich Harden(1-8) and Bartolo Colon(0-2)
squared off in a tense pitching duel, Newport News Builders finally emerged
victorious over Tacoma Rainiers, 3 to 1.
 
Harden pitched a solid game.  He allowed just 3 hits and 1 walk in 6 innings.
Neither team managed to score after the 4th inning.  
 
Daniel McCutchen got the save, his 1st.  Scott Dalane was just happy to get a
win, 'We've had such a bad streak of games -- boy, it's great to get the
monkey off our back.  Now maybe we can relax a little and play the kind of
baseball of which we are capable.'

McCarthy Wins #13, Rainiers Two In ARow.

Mike Carp left the yard and had 2 RBI as the Tacoma Rainiers defeated the
hapless Newport News Builders 6 to 3 at SAFECO Field.
 
Tacoma scored 5 runs in the decisive bottom of the 2nd inning when they came
up with 5 base hits.  That early run support was all that Michael
Pineda(11-6) required.  Newport News was out-hit by Tacoma, 10 hits to 6.
 
Leo Nunez earned his 1st save.  John Lackey(3-11) was given the loss.  He
pitched 1 and 1/3 innings allowing 6 hits and 1 walk.

Brandon Beachy reeled off a total of 13 strikeouts as the North Carolina
Knuckleheads topped the Tacoma Rainiers by a score of 1 to 0 at SAFECO
Field.
 
Beachy(8-5) was indeed brilliant as he hand-cuffed the Tacoma offense.  He
allowed just 6 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings lowering his ERA from 3.94 to
3.64.  Tacoma tried unsuccessfully to come back in the 9th.  
 
Brandon McCarthy(12-5) was charged with the loss.  He was a hard-luck loser,
pitching 8 innings and not allowing an earned run.  
 
Beachy didn't realize how many strikeouts he was racking up.  When told he had
13 he was obviously surprised, 'No kidding? Man, I knew that I had a decent
total, but I didn't think I had K'd that many.  Say, that's pretty good,
isn't it?'

Rainiers Win In 14 Innings. Ichiro Walk Off Single.

Leo Nunez pitched 4 strong innings as the Tacoma Rainiers defeated the North
Carolina Knuckleheads in 14 innings by the score of 2 to 1 at SAFECO
Field.
 
The score was tied at 1 after nine.  Tacoma won it in the 14th inning.  Yadier
Molina lined a single.  Jose Tabata next to the plate and he reached on an
error.  Ichiro Suzuki then smacked a single giving Tacoma the win as 40,338
happy fans joyfully celebrated.  Tacoma had 15 hits for the night while North
Carolina had 8.  
 
The win went to Nunez(1-0) who allowed no runs in 4 innings. Jason Frasor(3-4)
was given the loss in relief.  It was a tough loss for him as he did not
allow an earned run in his 2 innings of work.  
 
Tacoma now has a record of 67-46.  David Meese was unhappy with his club's
recent performance.  'We can't keep losing games' he said.  'It gets to be
embarrassing after a while.'

Tacoma Rainiers beat the North Carolina Knuckleheads 5 to 2.
 
North Carolina never recovered after Tacoma took the lead in the bottom of the
3rd inning plating an isolated run.  That early run support was enough for
Ian Kennedy(8-8) and Tacoma.  Despite losing, North Carolina out-hit Tacoma
11 to 4.  
 
Kyle Farnsworth recorded the save, his 24th.  Ted Lilly(8-10) took the loss.
He pitched 5 innings allowing 3 hits and 3 walks.

Clayton Kershaw mowed down 11 D.C. batters at SAFECO Field where the Tacoma
Rainiers beat the league door-mat D.C. Bulldogs by the score of 1 to
0.
 
Kershaw(16-5) dominated D.C. hitters.  He didn't allow much, just 6 hits and
no walks in 9 innings.  D.C. had a chance in the 9th but they came up short.
 
Phil Coke(0-3) was the loser in relief.  Michael Swanson was asked about the
performance of Kershaw, 'He had his good stuff out there tonight.  The fans
really get into it when the strikeouts start mounting up - and that seems to
give him even more adrenalin.'

          Top 4th: Jeff Mathis blocked the plate, saving a run!
 
Brandon McCarthy retired 10 batters on strikeouts at SAFECO Field as the
Tacoma Rainiers beat the lifeless D.C. Bulldogs in 15 innings 4 to 3.
 
The game was deadlocked at 3 after nine full innings.  Finally, Tacoma pulled
the game out in the 15th inning.  Omar Infante slapped a one-base hit.  After
another out, Luis Ayala got his chance to keep things going, but he went down
on strikes.  Jose Tabata then singled.  Tyler Chatwood then uncorked a pitch
that was ruled a passed ball giving Tacoma the win as 40,360 happy fans
joyfully celebrated.  Neither team was able to score until the 6th inning.
 
The victory was credited to Ayala(1-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no runs.
Chatwood(3-7) was tagged with the loss in relief.  He surrendered 2 hits and
no walks in 2/3 of an inning.  
 
'It's been a rough ride lately, but this was a good win for us' said Michael
Swanson, 'Maybe this will put us back on track.'
