Esperana Performance to No Avail in 10-8 Dragons Loss
Portland got a terrific game from first baseman Xadreque Esperana. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Minneapolis, 10-8. Esperana was 4 for 4 with 2 home runs, a double, and a walk. He scored 4 times and drove in 2. The Vikings, now 14-7, have played some good baseball in the early going.

Minneapolis used a timely hit from Mike Ramirez to get the win. The shortstop stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Vikings ahead, 10-7. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I like our moxie," said Vikings manager Ace Cooan.
