Hrbek Excels in 7-5 Portland Win
Portland designated hitter Kent Hrbek contributed to his team's 7-5 win over the Birmingham Black Barons. Hrbek, who is tied for 4th in the AL with a .604 slugging percentage, went 3 for 4 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Sea Dogs. Portland reliever Bob Porterfield picked up the win, upping his record to 3-0. Juan Rincón absorbed the loss. Elmer Brown was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 10 of 12 save opportunities.

Portland used the timely hitting of Buddy Bell to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Sea Dogs on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Bell.

Portland now has a record of 70-54 with the win.
