From Curve reports:
(Portland, ME) – For the fourth time this season,
the Altoona Curve were fruitless in their bid for a season-high fourth
consecutive win falling to the Portland SeaDogs on
Wednesday night at Hadlock Field 9-0. Curve pitching walked a total of
nine batters, one shy of their season high, and hit one as the Curve also
committed two crucial errors in the defeat. Additionally, Altoona proceeded to
go just 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position in the loss.
Starter
Kyle Bloom lasted just 3.2 innings as the lefty walked five, one shy of his
career-high while allowing four runs (two earned) to cross the plate. After
the first two runs scored, Bloom induced what would have been the inning-ending
ground ball to shortstop Brian Friday, but Friday’s throw went wide of second
base and in to the right field corner on an attempt at a force play allowing two
additional runs to score.
