Game Reports
Sea Dogs snap losing streak at 6

The Portland Sea Dogs have been playing from behind so often this season, it almost feels natural by this point.
They found themselves behind early Tuesday in the second game of an Eastern League doubleheader against the Reading Phillies but got a big home run from Mike Campo to pave the way for a 5-3 victory at FirstEnergy Stadium.

In the first game, the Sea Dogs extended their losing streak to six games with a 3-1 loss.

They fell behind 1-0 in the second inning of Game 2 on Jim Deschaine's opposite-field home run off the foul pole, but left fielder Campo's two-run shot in the third highlighted a three-run inning that turned the game around for good.

"I can't say enough about Mike Campo," said Portland Manager Ron Johnson.
"Since he's gone into the lineup about a week ago, he's been an offensive spark for us.
"It was important for us to get runs early. We've fallen behind nine games in a row. That starts wearing on you after a while."

The Sea Dogs' constant bullpen failures have worn on Johnson as well, and there was more of that in the second game Tuesday, as Joe Nelson allowed a run-scoring single from Miguel Quintana that cut the lead to two runs and brought the go-ahead run to the plate in the seventh.
But Nelson retired Jeff Phelps on a grounder for Nelson's second save and preserve the win for Abe Alvarez - the first by a Portland starting pitcher this season.
He pitched six innings.

"That was just an outstanding performance for (Alvarez)," Johnson said.
"This kid did a tremendous job. Even after he gave up the (second-inning) home run to Deschaine, he just kept coming out and handing up goose eggs."

Goose eggs are all the Sea Dogs produced against Reading's first-game starter, Gavin Floyd.

Floyd, one of the top pitching prospects in all the minor leagues, came into Tuesday's doubleheader with the same ERA he had at the start of his first Double-A season - 0.00.
He left with his perfect record intact, pitching 5 1/3 scoreless innings.

The Sea Dogs scratched across a run in the seventh, and actually had the tying runs on base when Jesus Medrano reached on an infield single that pushed home Sheldon Fulse.

But that was long after Floyd had departed.
While he was in there Portland did not swing the bats very hard.
In four starts - last Friday's was limited to one inning, because of rain - the 21-year-old Floyd has allowed just seven hits over 17 innings.
He has struck out 14, walked six, and allowed just one runner past second.
The right-hander was far from overpowering against the Sea Dogs, striking out just one.
But he induced a lot of ground balls and was rarely in danger, allowing only one extra-base hit, a third-inning double by Medrano.
Portland had runners on first and second with just one out in the fourth, but Floyd got Mike O'Keefe to fly out to right and Kenny Perez to fly out to left to get out of the inning.
Overall, Floyd allowed four hits and one walk, and left in the sixth, after throwing 78 pitches.

SEA DOGS SPLIT TWINBILL
Alvarez Earns First Double-A Win as Portland Snaps 6-Game Losing Streak

Abe Alvarez tossed six strong innings to earn his first Double-A win and Mike Campo and John Hattig hit home runs as the Sea Dogs topped Reading, 5-3 to split a doubleheader Tuesday night.

The Phillies won the opener, 3-1.

In the nightcap, Alvarez allowed five hits and two runs, fanning six and retiring 16 of the 21 batters he faced.

Campo homered to snap a 1-1 tie in the third inning after Raul Nieves tied the game with a run-scoring single.

Hattig added an insurance run with his first Double-A home run in the sixth inning.

In the opener, Miguel Quintana drove in all three runs in the Phillies win.

Gavin Floyd, the Phillies top right-handed prospect, fired 5 1/3 shutout innings to extend his scoreless inning streak to 17 frames.

Jesus Medrano drove in Portland's only run with a seventh inning RBI single.
He had two RBI in the doubleheader.
