Reynaldo Rivera returns to the Whitecaps with a bang

Josh Turley got rather clobbered on Saturday, surrendering five earned in just four innings of work. However, the bullpen gave the Hens five perfect innings with eight strikeouts to set up the comeback. The Hens scored four in the bottom half of the fourth to get back within one. Chad Huffman and Jarrod Saltalamacchia each had RBI hits before Ronny Rodriguez finished off the frame with a two-run shot, his first of the year. A similar result in the sixth, in which Huffman doubled and then rode home on a second two-run blast from Rodriguez proved the difference as Victor Alcantara, Kevin Comer and Louis Coleman dominated the Bats, well, bats, the rest of the way.
