Sixth inning: unearned run

The strike zone continues to be pounded by Mr. Buchholz in the sixth: 14 pitches, 12 strikes (82/61)

Buchholz gave up an unearned in the inning. A fly ball was dropped in center field when Reddick camped under it, and then slipped. Dustin Martin followed with a RBI double - a fisted bloop down the left field line.

So far: 5 hits, 0 walks, 7 strikeouts

The score is tied 4-4 (Portland got two in the fifth on Zach Daeges' sacrifice fly, and Aaron Bates' RBI double.
