Sea Dogs Edged, 4-2, by Altoona
The Portland Sea Dogs could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Manny Esparza into a win. Instead, the Altoona Curve prevailed, 4-2. Esparza threw 7.1 innings of 5-hit ball. The win belonged to Jose Oscal in relief. His record improves to 5-2. Kevin Chapman took the loss for Portland. John Berglund picked up his 23rd save of the season.

Altoona used the timely hitting of Jesus Aceves to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Curve on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We need to keep playing good baseball," Aceves told the Altoona Citizen.

The 'W' lifts Altoona's record to 46-71.
