PORTLAND, Ore- Dennis Tankersley pitched eight solid innings while Jermaine Clark and Mark Quinn each went 3 for 4 as the Beavers (33-28) won their third straight, 5-0 before a Thirsty Thursday crowd of 9,619 at PGE Park.

After Donaldo Mendez singled up the middle in the fourth, Clark hit a single and advanced to third on an error, sending Mendez home and sending the Beavers on their way to a third-consecutive win.

Mark Quinn added a run in the seventh on an RBI double that scored Jermaine Clark.
