The Canadians are having a rough start to the year, sitting at a 7-8 record in the Northwest League in High-A baseball division. Their last series they played this season was against Eugene Emeralds, where they only won 2 times out of the 6 games. Prior to that they played the Hillsboro Hops, and won 5 of the 6 games. Vancouver played a 3 game series against Spokane to start the season, and were unfortunately swept 3-0. The season has been a roller coaster so far, beating the teams below them in the standings and losing to the ones above them. They currently sit in 3rd in the Northwest League, however there are only 5 other teams to play against and they only play each other throughout the season.
The Canadians find themselves with the 3rd best batting average as a team, 2nd in the league in home runs, while sitting dead last in total hits. This however is due to Vancouver having the least amount of at-bats throughout the season so far. On the pitching end of things, the Canadians seem to be struggling more. Their pitchers have the least amount of total innings pitched, the second lost earned run average (ERA), and last in strikeouts. So it doesn’t seem to be an issue to score the runs, however it’s proving a challenge to stop the other teams from scoring. For Spokane, everything seems to be working for them this season so far, as they sit in 2nd in the league with an 11-4 record, only one game back of the Eugene Emeralds. Spokane has the second best ERA in the league, the most strikeouts, and the second lowest batting average against them.
The Canadians look to turn the tide on teams above them in the standings tonight. 23-year old Chris McElvain gets the starting pitching job for Vancouver, as he hopes to bring down that 4.50 ERA. Spokane has 25-year old Mason Green starting tonight and he’ll be expected to keep batters off the bases tonight, keeping the batting average against him at a wild .150.
