Nick Swisher cleared the bases with his grand slam and Ted Lilly struck out 10
batters as the Tacoma Rainiers were badly beaten by the very strong Asbury
Jukes, 19 to 3.
 
Swisher had a big day against Tacoma.  He doubled in the 1st inning, lined a
one-base hit in the 3rd inning and emptied the bases with a Grand Slam
homerun in the 7th inning.  Asbury kept the scorekeepers busy in the 3rd
inning which saw them score 4 runs on 5 hits and the 7th inning when they had
9 runs on 5 hits.  Overall Asbury out-hit Tacoma 18 to 7.  
 
The victory went to Lilly(16-8) who went 6 innings, allowing 3 runs. Aaron
Harang gained credit for his 1st save.  Felix Doubront(0-2) ended up with the
loss.  Asbury scored big getting 6 runs off him in 2 and 1/3 innings.
 
Michael Swanson was impressed with Lilly and his 10 strikeouts.  'It's tough
to generate runs if you can't make contact with the ball.'

Rainiers Get Blanked, 2-0. Nyger Steals #58.

At SAFECO Field the Tacoma Rainiers were battered 8 to 3 by the Indian River
Redfish.
 
Indian River drew first blood jumping out to an early lead in the first inning
as they scored 4 runs on 5 base hits.  That early scoring held up.  Indian
River had 14 hits for the game and Tacoma had 6.  
 
The victory was credited to Brett Cecil(8-11) who went 6 and 2/3 innings,
allowing 2 runs. Jon Garland(15-5) was given the loss.  He was knocked around
pretty good, giving up 8 runs in 4 innings.  
 
Indian River's manager 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.'

Rainiers top Redfish 5-2.

Clay Buchholz pitched a 3 hit shutout and second baseman Rickie Weeks had 3
base hits and scored 3 times at SAFECO Field where the incredible Canyon
Diablo Critters beat the Tacoma Rainiers 5 to 0.
 
Buchholz(10-5) pitched one of his finer games as he simply was too much for
the Tacoma batters.  He didn't give up much, just 3 hits and 4 walks in 9
innings.  Buchholz racked up 11 strikeouts.  Canyon Diablo finished with 9
hits in the victory.  
 
Felix Doubront(0-1) was the loser.  He allowed 5 hits and 4 walks in 5 and 1/3
innings.  'I had my good stuff tonight.' Buchholz said. 'As the game went
along I started to get the feeling that I was going to strike out a bunch of
hitters.'

Rainiers Lose 5-3 to The Critters.

Ian Desmond hit a homerun and had 2 RBI as the Williamstown Purple Cows
defeated the Tacoma Rainiers 5 to 3 at SAFECO Field.
 
Williamstown took the lead for good in the 7th inning when they tallied 2 runs
on 3 hits.  The key at-bat was by Desmond who deflated the crowd as he
smashed a two-run homer.  Williamstown had 13 hits for the night while Tacoma
had 10.  
 
Mitch Talbot(6-16) got credit for the victory, pitching 6 innings and allowing
1 run. Talbot was helped out by Kenley Jansen who recorded his 1st save.
Clayton Kershaw(12-8) took the loss.  He got hammered, allowing 13 hits and 3
walks in 9 innings.  
 
Tom Tomlinson 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.'

Magglio Ordonez collected 2 extra-base hits and had 2 RBI as the very talented
Franklin Kites crushed the Tacoma Rainiers 15 to 1.
 
Franklin promptly took the lead in their half of the first as they pummeled
Tacoma for 7 runs on 6 hits.  That early scoring was all that Bronson
Arroyo(7-10) needed.  Franklin kept the scorekeepers busy in the 1st inning
when they had 7 runs on 6 hits and the 8th inning which saw them score 4 runs
on 5 hits.  Tacoma was out-hit by Franklin, 17 hits to 9.  
 
Clayton Richard(9-12) took the loss.

WEB GEMS- Bot 3rd: Hanley Ramirez robbed Ty Wigginton of a base hit.

 

Ichiro Suzuki had 5 hits and 3 RBI as the Tacoma Rainiers bested the

Stockbridge Traders 13 to 4 at SAFECO Field.

 

Suzuki had a good evening at the plate.  He ripped a base-hit in the 1st

inning, doubled in the 3rd inning, slapped a single which brought home a run

in the 4th inning, stroked a base-hit which plated a run in the 6th inning

and banged out a one-base hit plating a run in the 7th inning.  Offensively,

Tacoma was a juggernaut.  They scored in 6 separate innings.  

 

Jon Garland(13-4) allowed 4 runs in 6 innings, and picked up the victory.

Peter Moylan recorded the save, his 2nd.  Nick Blackburn(0-1) was the losing

pitcher.  He gave up 6 runs in 2 and 1/3 innings of work.

inning.  

 

Fernando Rodney recorded the save, his 16th.  The losing pitcher was Jeff

Francis(2-9).  He pitched 7 innings giving up 7 hits and 3 walks.

Shane Victorino collected 2 extra-base hits and Tommy Hunter mowed down 10

Tacoma batters as the New Dorp Donkeys beat the Tacoma Rainiers by a score of

6 to 2.

 

Hunter(7-7) had a solid outing for New Dorp.  He surrendered 8 hits and 2

walks in 8 innings.  Both teams ended up with 9 hits on the night.  

 

Hunter was helped out by Hideki Okajima who recorded his 3rd save.  The losing

pitcher was Jonathon Niese(9-9).  He got hit hard, allowing 8 hits and 3

walks in 5 and 1/3 innings.  

 

Hunter was asked about his big strikeout performance, 'Well, it's a little odd

when you rack up these numbers on the road - instead of cheers and a running

tally in the stands, everything gets real still and quiet.  Just strange -

but it's nice to be able to take the crowd out of the game.'

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!'

runs in the 8th inning.  Gateway had only 6 hits for the night.  

 

John Danks(7-11) was the winner allowing 1 run in 7 innings. Hisanori

Takahashi(2-1) was given the loss in relief.  'I just got in the box, looked

for a pitch and swung,' Young said.  'That's it'

In a good matchup it was the Tacoma Rainiers 6, the pitiful Gateway Redbirds 4

at SAFECO Field.

 

David Pauley(5-3) was brilliant in relief and registered the victory.  He did

not allow a hit or a walk in his 1 inning.  Gateway had a chance in the 9th

but they came up short.  

 

Fernando Rodney earned the save, his 14th.  Carlos Zambrano(4-10) took the

loss in relief.  'We didn't get the key hits when we needed them' Lenny

Luchtefeld said. 'We did what we could, we just didn't pull out the win. What

can you say?'

Clayton Kershaw whitewashed North Carolina on 4 hits at SAFECO Field where the

Tacoma Rainiers beat the North Carolina Knuckleheads in 10 innings 1 to

0.

 

No runners had crossed home plate after the regulation nine.  Tacoma won the

hard fought contest in the 10th inning.  After an out was recorded, Casey

Blake blasted a solo shot making Tacoma the victor and beginning a joyous

home town celebration.  Tacoma had only 3 hits for the game.  

 

Kershaw(11-6) went the distance for the shutout. Johan Santana(8-9) suffered

the loss.  He gave up only 3 hits and 2 walks in 9 and 1/3 innings.  

 

When asked about his strikeout total for the game, Kershaw offered, 'The fan's

really got into it.  It is fun to see them tally up the strikeout totals up

there in the stands.  Fortunately, I kept them busy tonight - of course, it

would be all for naught without the 'W'.'
