ALTOONA, PA - The Chesapeake Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, fell on Saturday night to the Altoona Curve, the Double-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, by a final score of 6-1 from Peoples Natural Gas Field.

The game was called in the bottom of the eighth inning due to rain.

Chesapeake (11-15, 42-51) opened the scoring two batters in. Reed Trimble doubled on the first pitch of the game and scored on a balk by Altoona starter Wilber Dotel (W, 4-6).

Altoona (15-11, 45-49) took the lead in the second on an RBI triple from Esmerlyn Valdez and an RBI single from Sammy Siani.

Baysox starter Nestor German (L, 3-5) struck out a career-high 10 batters in six innings, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in the loss. At one point, the Orioles No. 9 prospect struck out eight batters through the first four innings and set down eight in a row.

Dotel earned the win after dealing five innings of one-run ball with five strikeouts.

In the seventh, Mike Jarvis widened Altoona's lead with a grand slam off Wyatt Cheney, who was making his Double-A debut after earning promotion from High-A Aberdeen on Friday.
