3-0 Loss Extends Nashville Skid
Portland beat Nashville on the strength of starting pitcher Chris Simon's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 3-0. The winner was Simon. He threw 6.2 innings of shutout ball. The loser was Pat Higginbotham. The Lasers, now 66-68, have lost 6 straight.

Portland took a 3-0 lead on Josh Kelly's 10th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Kelly hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Nashville pitcher David Caldwell shaking his head.

"Chris can pitch. He moves the ball around," said Portland manager Will Berman.
