Bees, Brown keep on swarming

Can't be too long before Matt Brown finds his way back on the Angels roster. The young infielder is off to the best start of his career. The Angels' Triple-A affiliate also is doing very well. Nick Green and Nick Adenhart should represent the next wave of talented Angels starting pitching. Here is the Angels' minor-league report on Salt Lake from Saturday's action:

SALT LAKE BEES (Class AAA) - Pacific Coast League - Record 15-1, 1st

The Salt Lake Bees won their seventh straight game and 15th in the first 16 games with an 8-3 win over the Portland Beavers (San Diego affiliate). Salt Lake took an 8-0 lead into the bottom of the eighth and three Bees’ pitchers combined on a three-hitter. 3B Matt Brown, who leads the minors in extra-base hits (16) and total bases (58), had three hits, including a double and a two-run home run with four RBI. RHP Nick Green (2-0) started and pitched six no-hit innings, giving up five walks and striking out two. RHP Jeff Kennard went two relief innings, giving up one run on a hit.
