Portland Sea Dogs News Release
ABOUT LAST NIGHT After a 30 minute rain delay, the Sea Dogs demolished the Patriots in an 11-0 shutout on Saturday night, their eighth of the season. Ronald Rosario delivered his second two-home run game in his last two series, driving in a career-high five of the Sea Dogs' 11 runs. Franklin Arias reached base five times on the night, going three-for-four with two walks for his 30th multi-hit game of the season. Brooks Brannon was two-for-five with a pair of doubles, his fifth straight game with an extra-base hit. Jack Winnay singled in a pinch-hit at-bat for Nelly Taylor in the seventh inning, extending his hit streak to 11 games.
MOUND MASTERCLASS Sea Dogs pitchers allowed three hits combined last night while issuing just two walks. RHP Anthony Eyanson started with five one-hit innings, striking out eight batters. RHP Jedixson Paez followed that up with two innings of one-hit ball with three strikeouts. RHP John Holobetz closed the game strong with another two innings of one-hit ball, striking out three batters.
WALKIN' WILL TURNER Will Turner walked four times in last night's game, his second time walking four times in a game this season. With that, he retakes the solo lead in walks in the Eastern League (55), despite spending two weeks of the season on the injured list. Though his batting average sits at .196, Turner's .386 on-base percentage is sixth best in the Eastern League.
EASTERN LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE WEEK Catcher/first baseman Ronald Rosario was selected the Eastern League Player of the Week for July 7-12.

Over the week, the 23-year-old batted .500 (8-16), crushed a league-leading 4 home runs, recorded 9 RBIs, and stole 1 base, with a 1.750 OPS.
WATCH OUT FOR WINNAY! Infielder Jack Winnay has a hit in 15 of his first 18 games as a Sea Dog with seven multi-hit games, and is currently riding a team-leading 11-game hit streak. Overall, Winnay is batting .333 (23-for-69) with four doubles, two home runs, 14 runs scored, seven RBI, and five walks. Winnay showed a propensity for walks (53) and home runs (11) through 56 first-half games with the High-A Greenville Drive.
BRANNON'S BAT With a pair of doubles yesterday, Brooks Brannon is on a five-game extra-base hit streak, with four doubles and three home runs in that span.
