VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The hits keep not coming for the Bears.

Shut out for the second time in 12 games Monday night, struggling Yakima managed only five safeties en route to its fifth straight loss, 6-0 to Vancouver before an announced crowd of 2,234 at Nat Bailey Stadium.

The Bears have lost eight of nine and, at 12-22, have the Northwest League's worst record. They also have dropped the first two installments of their five-game set with the Canadians, the only team they've won a series from this season.

Though the loss went to Patrick McAnaney (1-1), the left-hander pitched well, allowing only four hits and one run through four innings. The run he surrendered in the first inning snapped a streak of 11 scoreless frames from the University of Virginia product. His earned run average rose to 0.79.

Ryan Babineau and Andrew Fie each singled and doubled, but Brendan Duffy's single was Yakima's only other hit. The Bears also coaxed only one walk from winning pitcher Carlos Hernandez (2-0) and two relievers.

Yakima advanced only two runners past second base -- Fie after his double in the eighth and Babineau after his two-bagger in the ninth.

Still, thanks to McAnaney, the Bears trailed only 1-0 starting the bottom of the fifth, but Michael Lissman hit a two-run homer off Daniel Vasquez and, in the sixth, David Thomas' RBI triple capped a three-run rally off Jason Durst.

Lissman and Thomas had two hits each for Vancouver (14-20).

Though the Canadians remain the league's lowest-scoring team (135 runs to Yakima's 145 through 34 games), the Bears have managed only 41 runs over their last 14 starts, or an average of 2.93 per game.
