The hits keep coming for Tacoma.
Luis Jimenez’s bat has been hot for the Tacoma Rainiers.
The Seattle Mariners on Saturday spent their first night of the year in a familiar place, at the bottom of the American League West. It figures to be their home for the summer, and my presumption is they slept soundly.

RENO – After setting the International League record with 43 saves in 2010, Jonathan Albaladejo knows a tough save when he sees it. Walking the leadoff man in the ninth inning with a one-run lead in a hitter’s paradise is surely no way to make a save easier.
RENO – After two years in Japan, the 2009 Pacific Coast League Most Valuable Player is back in the league. The Tacoma Rainiers learned this the hard way Friday night.
