Xadreque Esperana Hits #400
Portland first baseman Xadreque Esperana pounded a home run during the Dragons 3-2 loss to Phoenix yesterday. Despite the defeat, the long ball was a significant achievement and raised his career home run total to 400.

"Some hitters never live up to the hype," said his manager. "Xadreque has definitely lived up to his. He's hammered the heck out of the ball year after year."

The Portland star went 1 hit for 4 at-bats during the game, scoring 1 run and had 2 RBI.

Esperana has compiled a career batting average of .279 with 1491 hits, 400 homers and 1122 RBIs.
