PREVIEW: Seddon Searches for Eighth Win
Tacoma lefty Chris Seddon has been nothing short of dominant
in his last 10 starts, going 5-2 with a 2.64 ERA, striking out 38 and walking
just 18 over 58 innings pitched. Seddon is tied with reliever Eric Hull for the
team lead with seven victories on the season.
His opponent Ramon Ortiz has faced the Rainiers twice this
season, throwing 4.2 innings in relief, allowing two hits, two earned runs and
four walks while striking out five.
The Grizzlies are just 13-18 against southpaw starters this
season, but are hitting a respectable .276 against lefties on the season in
1,022 at-bats.

Tomorrow is Day Camp Day at Cheney Stadium, as the Rainiers look
to close out their season series against the Grizzlies with a win.
Tacoma will then embark on an eight-game, nine-day road trip
to Round Rock and Albuquerque before coming home for an eight-game homestand against the Iowa Cubs and Omaha Royals, which will
include our traditional Friday Night Fireworks on August 14 and 21, Pink in the
Park on August 16 and Tasty Thursday on August 20.
