Last Game
Matthew Gretler hit his first career home run in Oregon State's 5-1 loss to Portland Tuesday night in Hillsboro. Gretler's solo shot in the fourth put the Beavers on the board but Oregon State managed three hits and four walks overall. Dylan Pearce struck out four in 2 1/3 innings of work.

Against Washington

Gretler's Surge
Matthew Gretler has hit safely in three consecutive games after homering versus Portland on Tuesday. The freshman from Bonney, Lake, Wash., has gone 4-for-10 with three runs and two runs batted in over that stretch.

The Lefty
Brandon Eisert, the Beavers' starter on Friday night, gave up his first run of the season versus California last week. The lefty has issued just three walks while striking out 35 in 23 2/3 innings. He is 12th nationally with a 11.67 strikeout-to-walk ratio, which also leads the Pac-12 Conference.

Another Winning Month ...

The lone blemish over that stretch was a 2-2 mark for the Beavers in June 2012. The team's last losing record in a single month was a 6-9 finish in May 2011.
