Tacoma Rainiers News Release
TACOMA, Wash. - The Tacoma Rainiers (28-30) fell to the Salt Lake Bees (35-23) by a final score of 2-1 Sunday afternoon at Cheney Stadium.

Left fielder Jayson Werth (2x3, R, 2 2B) and right fielder John Andreoli (1x3, RBI) powered the Rainiers offense during the final game of the homestand.
Werth launched his first of two doubles on the afternoon during the fourth inning and scored two batters later when Andreoli lined an RBI single to left to make it 1-0 Tacoma.
Salt Lake took a 2-1 lead in the top of the fifth on Jose Miguel Fernandez's two-RBI single to center field.
The Rainiers enjoy an off-day Monday before returning to action at 5:05 p.m. Tuesday to open a three-game series with the Memphis Redbirds. Right hander Casey Lawrence (3-2, 3.64) will get the start for Tacoma and righty John Gant (4-0, 2.40) will be on the hill for Memphis.
