 | Sunday, July 1st, 2029: Portland Starter Named NL's #1 Pitcher
As Dennis Nuñez hoisted up the National League Pitcher of the Month trophy for June, rumors have already begun to swirl about whether he will leave Portland once his contract is up at the end of the season.

 | Wednesday, May 16th, 2029: Suspensions Handed Out for Bench-Clearing Brawl
When fights happen, suspensions are not far behind. That axiom was held to be true today when Oklahoma's Mike Hubbard and Portland's Roberto Pujols were given a temporary vacation from the game, courtesy of the league commissioner's office.
They both were suspended for 5 games for their actions in a recent ruckus between the two teams. Both benches cleared when Hubbard charged Pujols.
Both players have accepted their fate and will begin serving their suspensions immediately. Neither would talk to reporters about the confrontation.
Hubbard is presently batting .341 with 2 home runs, 29 runs scored and 22 RBIs. His OBP is .407.
Pujols has made 10 starts this season, posting 5 wins and 4 losses. Opposing clubs are batting .268 against him and he has 51 strikeouts in 65.1 innings with a 4.13 ERA.
