Health and clarity at last, Seth Corry has simply found himself
EUGENE, Ore. — Seth Corry has come to the right place. Or so the universe insists on this picture-perfect Wednesday afternoon. He’s enjoyed a solid start to his year, a 1.99 ERA with an 11.12 k/9. But as he sat with the sunny background silhouetting his Ems’ cap, the questions
A new problem emerges for Eugene in series-splitting loss to Spokane
In series losses to the Tri-City Dust Devils and the Everett Aqua-Sox, Los Monarcas’ struggles had followed a few recurring themes. Their starting pitching wasn’t great. The bullpen repeatedly served as a scooter to the shins. And their top-heavy lineup teetered with everyone from Matt Higgins to Andrew Kachel scuffling
Manuel Mercedes shines in bullpen game victory
From his first day as Eugene’s skipper Jeremiah Knackstedt made his purpose in Eugene clear: “Win games and develop guys at the same time.” The former, of late, has been a struggle. With Eugene mired in a 5-11 stretch that has lasted nearly three weeks. So it was invigorating Saturday
Spokane's Chase Dollander quiets Emeralds' bats in 9-2 lossÂ
When the season ends, and the Emeralds reflect on their 132-game journey through the schedule, the details of most games aren’t likely to be remembered, most players’ performances unremarkable, most outings insignificant. With the players too, there is some prosaicness. With thousands of minor-leaguers and only a select amount of
The numbers lied, Emeralds fall to Spokane 9-3
Statistically speaking, the discrepancies coming in were far too large for one to overlook. The Emeralds’ offense entered leading the Northwest league in home runs, stolen bases, runs scored and hits. The Emeralds’ pitching staff entered leading the division in strikeouts and walks while holding batters to the lowest batting
Dylan Cumming guides Emeralds to 8-3 victory over Spokane
Dylan Cumming continues to give the Emeralds that feeling. The feeling that every time he takes the ball, the team will get a quality start. That whenever he ascends the mound, a string of zeros will follow. That, most importantly, on days he pitches, the Emeralds should be positioned to
Alexander Suarez blasts Emeralds past Spokane
Editors Note: The City of Eugene voted against the $15 million bond measure to fund a multi-use facility at the fairgrounds. This story was written in lieu of the unfortunate news. “This is obviously very discouraging,” Emeralds General Manager Allan Benavides said. “We are going to need to regroup with
A familiar story this homestand: Dust Devils defeat the Emeralds
For most of this season, the Emeralds have looked close to invincible. In the past six meetings with the Tri-City Dust Devils, however, they have appeared anything but. For the first time this season, the Emeralds (19-13) dropped a series, falling to the Dust Devils 4-3 in a Sunday game
Exploding Whales allow nine unanswered in 10-5 loss to Tri-City
The Eugene Exploding Whales have an issue. The whole thing is equally incredible and mysterious. The Whales are dealing with a dilemma for which there is no handbook, a problem for which there is no precedent, all of it fueled by a 22-year-old who has stolen the show all homestand.

Late struggles doom Ems againÂ
Two of — what looks to be — the best teams in High-A convened at PK Park on Friday night. The Emeralds coming off a complete team victory and the new-look Dust Devils surging after a horrific 3-9 start to the season. Tri-City looked the part while the Emeralds looked
Dylan Cumming dominates as Emeralds get back to winning ways in victory over Tri-City
There are no must-win games in May, but there are games in which you need to stop the bleeding. The Emeralds found themselves in such a situation on Thursday, the first-place team entering the contest losers of two in a row against bottom- dweller Tri-City. Lucky for them, they had
Emeralds’ bats struggle again in 6-1 loss to Tri-City
Manuel Mercedes’ rough start to the season continued, as did the Ems (18-10) hypnotic start to the series. He allowed six runs — five earned — in the loss and unlike his sinker, the reason for Mercedes’ troubles wasn’t hard to locate. Of his 69 pitches, 48 went for strikes,
Zach Morgan slugs away his slump in Exploding Whales' 9-1 win over Hillsboro
After a recent string of “off” days amid a 2-24 slump, the start of Zach Morgan’s season had reached a nadir. Then three swings (and one shaved mustache) later the Eugene third-year utility man finally found a reprieve. In a 9-1 blowout win over the Hillsboro Hops, it was Morgan’s
Emeralds walk their way to series-opening win over Hillsboro
For professional pitchers worldwide, the Hops included, there is a universal kryptonite from which even years of practice, execution and perfection isn’t immune. Walks. Hops pitchers walked seven Emeralds in the eighth inning alone, giving a previously soporific Eugene offense all it would need in a 3-2 win over Hillsboro.
