CJ Liu was done after 4 innings, 3 runs, 5 hits, 3 walks, 4 strikeouts. ERA up to 5.09.

I feel pretty comfortable not protecting him in the Rule 5.
The day didn't get any better for Portland pitchers.

Ryan Miller allowed 2 runs in 1 inning.

Theo Denlinger allowed 1 run in 1 inning.

Alex Hoppe allowed 3 runs in 0.2 innings.

On the bright side Luis Guerrero got his only batter out so far?

Hagenman has pitched 5 scoreless innings in his 4 games for WooSox since the trade.
AJ Politi had a bit of an adventure in the 9th, starting the inning lineout/walk/walk. But he struck out the last 2 hitters to end the inning & we're on to the 10th.

Unlikely hitting hero Caleb Hamilton got an RBI single in the 10th, with a second run scoring on some bad defense, allowing Caleb to get to 3rd.

Rafaela is batting 3rd & playing CF today so he can go for 6 in a row.
