STILL STREAKING - Tyler Dearden is currently riding a 12-game on-base streak, dating back to July 14 at Hadlock Field. During the streak, he has gone 15-for-40 (.375), with four doubles, two home runs, five RBI, and eight walks. He has also collected five multi-hit games since starting the streak, racking up two hits in each of those games.
TWO MORE - After Michael Wacha tossed 4.1 innings in a rehab appearance last night, there will be two more major league rehabbers added to the Sea Dogs roster for tonight's game. INF/OF Kikè Hernandez and RHP Tyler Danish are joining the team in Portland. Hernandez has played in 51 games this season for the Red Sox, posting a .209 batting average with four homers and 24 RBI. Danish has appeared 26 times for the Red Sox this year, all in relief. Over those outings, he has put together a 4.02 ERA over 31.1 innings, making his last appearance in the big leagues on July 6th.
ON-BASE MACHINE - Stephen Scott has frequented the base paths over the last 15 games, posting a .273 average and a .469 on-base percentage. Overall, he is 12-for-44, with three doubles, one triple, and four homers. Although those numbers are good, Scott has used his plate vision to find success, working 17 walks and struck out just nine times over the last 15 games. His time spent on base has resulted in 13 runs scored while driving in nine runs on his own.
THIS DATE IN SEA DOGS HISTORY - August 10, 2005 - The Sea Dogs completed their eighth series sweep of the season after their win against New Britain. Portland swept a franchise-record four series of at least four games during the 2005 season.

PITCHING MATCHUP - Thaddeus Ward is set to make his second start of the season tonight for the Sea Dogs. He last started August 9th against Erie and tossed 3.2 shutout innings allowing one hit. He gave up five walks while walking two. He has not faced the Flying Squirrels.
