Mulvey Shines in Aces Win over Beavers

June 7, 2010 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Portland Beavers News Release


RENO, Nev. - Kevin Mulvey struck out a season-high eight batters over six strong innings and helped himself with a two-run single as the Reno Aces beat the Portland Beavers 4-2 at Aces Ballpark Monday night.

Mulvey (1-5) allowed two runs on four hits and one walk to earn his first win since Aug. 11, 2009, when he was pitching for Minnesota's Triple-A Rochester affiliate in an International League game at Buffalo.

Jeff Bailey and Pedro Ciriaco led the Aces' (26-33) 12-hit attack and Mark Hallberg had two RBIs as Reno won consecutive games for the first time since May 21-22.

Aaron Cunningham hit his fourth homer of the year and Sean Kazmar doubled and drove in the Beavers' (21-36) other run.

Will Inman (2-4) gave up all four runs and 11 hits but did not walk a batter and struck out three over seven innings.

Hits by Bailey, Yunesky Sanchez and Ciriaco loaded the bases for the Aces with one out in the second. Hallberg plated the first run of the game with a grounder to short before Mulvey knocked in two runs with a single up the middle.

Cunningham's homer led off the fourth inning and the Beavers added another run when Mike Baxter walked, moved to second on Craig Cooper's single and scored on Kazmar's forceout.

Hallberg collected his second RBI of the game on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the bottom of the fourth.

The Beavers started a rally in the top of the ninth, getting a leadoff single from Baxter and a walk to Cooper. But Eric Munson popped out and Kazmar lined into a game-ending double play to the pitcher Zach Kroenke, who recorded his second save.

The Beavers and Aces finish their series Tuesday at 1:05 p.m. (Pacific).

NOTES: Inman has walked zero batters in three of his last five starts after walking at least two in each of his first six starts ... the Beavers are 2-24 when being held to two runs or fewer ... Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero went 1-for-4 as he began his rehab assignment with Reno ... after walking a season-high 10 batters on Sunday, the Beavers did not allow any walks.
