Three in a Row

Behind a strong start by Chris Smith, the Sea Dogs blanked Harrisburg 2-0 Tuesday night. In a competition between the "Resistable Force" (Harrisburg batting) and the "Moveable Object" (Sea Dogs Pitching), the Resistable Force loses out. The Sea Dogs have allowed just three runs over the last three games (one vs. Norwich, two vs. the Senators), a stark contrast to the 38 runs allowed in their prior three contests (all against the Navigators). Jeff Baily continues to impress, this time with a solo home run.

The Dogs also made a couple of roster moves, getting their 2003 pitcher of the year, Josh Stevens, from Pawtucket while Phil Seibel was sent up, and returning reliever Eric Glaser from the DL. In a paper-only transaction, Alvarez was assigned to Lowell to make room for Glaser, meaning another move will be necessary prior to Abe's start on Saturday.
