PORTLAND, Maine — The Bowie Baysox completed a three-game sweep of the Portland Sea Dogs with a 5-0 Double-A victory Sunday in front of a sellout crowd at Hadlock Field.
A night after former Sea Dog Joe Gunkel worked six scoreless innings against Portland, former 2013 Sea Dog Terry Doyle (5-1) went the full nine in shutting out the Sea Dogs. Doyle allowed seven hits and didn’t issue a walk while striking out seven. He threw 111 pitches, 76 for strikes.
The Sea Dogs were held scoreless by Bowie for 26 consecutive innings to close out the series.
Bowie took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on a solo home run by Trey Mancini, his first of the season. It was the first home run allowed by Sea Dogs’ starter William Cuevas this season and broke a streak of 84 consecutive innings by Cuevas without allowing a home run.
Bowie extended its lead to 2-0 later in the same inning on an RBI double by Austin Wynns.
The Baysox doubled up their lead in the fifth on a two-run home run by Mike Yastrzemski, his second of the season.
Cuevas (6-3) allowed four earned runs on seven hits in 4 ⅓ innings, walking three and striking out seven. Madison Younginer worked 2 ⅔ perfect innings in relief, while Robby Scott added a scoreless inning and Pat Light allowed one earned run in one inning of work, ending a streak of 27 ⅔ consecutive innings worked by the Sea Dogs’ bullpen without allowing an earned run.
