Portland, ME- Outfielder Juan Guerrero, the Eastern League Player of the Week, had two hits, including a double but the Hartford Yard Goats lost the opening game of the road trip by the score of 6-3 against the Portland Sea Dogs on Tuesday night at Delta Dental Park at Hadlock Field in Portland, Maine. The Yard Goats had a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning before the Sea Dogs scored twice in the fourth, and then added three more in the fifth, including a go-ahead two-run home run by Allan Castro. Red Sox LHP Chris Murphy started for the Sea Dogs (MLB Rehab) and allowed a hit in a scoreless inning. The Yard Goats have dropped five of seven games since winning back-to-back contests May 25-27. Wednesday's night's game will be carried live on Newstalk 1080 WTIC.
Red Sox LHP Chris Murphy started against the Yard Goats on a Major League Rehab assignment and pitched only the first inning. He allowed a two-out single to Kyle Karros, who returned to Hartford for the first time in a month.
The Yard Goats scored the first run of the game in the second inning as Jose Cordova doubled home Bryant Betancourt off reliever Dalton Rogers. Hartford added a pair of runs in the fourth inning on a two RBI single by Cole Carrigg as Cordova and Dyan Jorge scored to make it 3-0.
