WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Victor Moreno allowed just one run in six innings and Jeff Baker added a solo home run as the Sacramento River Cats defeated the Portland Beavers 2-1 Sunday afternoon at Raley Field.

Santiago Casilla (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings of relief for the win. Dewon Brazelton (0-3) suffered the loss for the Beavers, allowing two runs over six and a third innings.

NOTES: Justin Leone made just his fourth start of the season in right field for the Beavers ... Manny Alexander stole his fourth base of the season in the fifth inning ...
