Brian Giles should have one more hit to his credit this season. Not that it affected the outcome, but Alfredo Amezaga absolutely didn’t catch Giles’ soft liner in the top of the eighth. Also, what a strange game for Paul McAnulty: hit by a pitch, thrown out trying to advance on a popup to third base, lost his glove while chasing down a foul fly ball to left, almost hit in the on-deck circle by a drive off the bat of Josh Bard…

Triple-A — Portland 6, New Orleans 1

Matt Antonelli: 1-for-4
Jody Gerut: 2-for-3, 2B, BB
Chase Headley: 0-for-3, BB
Brian Myrow: 2-for-4, HR
Chip Ambres (CF): 1-for-3, 2B, BB

Shawn Estes: 7 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 HR, 1 BB, 4 SO
Josh Banks: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 0 SO

Gerut is officially out of control. I cringe a little whenever Estes pitches well.

Double-A — San Antonio 4, Corpus Christi
