Salt Lake City, UT - After six masterful innings from lefty veteran Tommy Milone, inclement weather halted play and the Tacoma Rainiers earned a 2-0 shutout victory against the Salt Lake Bees on Tuesday at Smith's Ballpark.
Milone (2-2) allowed three hits but walked none and struck out five over the complete game effort, forcing a double-play ball to keep things scoreless in the fourth.
Kristopher Negron tagged his third home run of the season against former Rainiers (10-16) pitcher Forrest Snow (0-3), an opposite field solo shot to put Tacoma ahead in the third.
An inning later, Tim Lopes pushed across Austin Nola with a sacrifice fly to center field against the Salt Lake (8-16) starter Snow, making it 2-0. Lopes finished 2-for-2 in addition to his insurance RBI.
Before the game, outfielder Braden Bishop was promoted to the Seattle Mariners, and Mallex Smith was optioned to Tacoma. Outfielder Johnny Slater was transferred from Extended Spring Training and added to the lineup card before the game but did not play.
The four-game set continues on Wednesday when Justus Sheffield (0-1) makes his first appearance with Tacoma since being optioned back from Seattle. First pitch is at 5:35 p.m. PDT and Mike Curto will have full coverage on South Sound Talk 850, with audio streaming available on the Rainiers TuneIn Radio Network.
