Dragons Snatch Late Win
Evan Salimbene was a vital contributor to the 4-2 Portland victory over San Diego. The Dragons designated hitter was 2-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Ryan Mena, now 4-7, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 2.1 innings. Portland is now 58-81, while San Diego is 76-63.

Portland needed the clutch hitting of Shigenobu Shimamoto to seal the deal. The first baseman swatted a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Dragons on top, 3-2. For the game, Shimamoto had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Shimamoto attributed the win to "an all-around good team performance."
