The name of the game Wednesday at Hadlock was starting pitching as Red Sox prospect Casey Kelly went 5, his longest stint of the year so far, allowing 2 runs, 1 earned. Phillies starter Drew Naylor allowed only 1 run in 7 strong innings.

Kelly had a good mix of fastball and off speed pitches, especially his curve, which ended 2 at bats on looking strikes.

Naylor matched pitch for pitch and then some only allowing only 1 run over 7 innings. The Sea Dogs lone run came on a ground out to short by Luis Exposito plating Juan Apodaca. Exposito continues his hot hitting, going 2 - 4 with a double.

The Dogs best chance came in the 8th when they got 2 men on, including Ryan Kalish extending his on base streak to 15 games. With 2 outs. Luis Exposito worked the count, but got fooled on a great slider by Phillies reliever Matt German for the strikeout.

The Dogs and Phils finish off what was to be a 4 game series tomorrow at noon at Hadlock.

PORTLAND SEA DOGS OFFICIAL GAME RECAP

Drew Naylor and the Reading bullpen provided the pitching, and Domonic Brown provided the pop, as the Phillies held on for a 2-1 win over the Portland Sea Dogs on Wednesday night at Hadlock Field.

Naylor (2-3) turned in a seven-inning gem to earn the win for Reading, surrendering one run on six hits and a walk, while striking out six.   The Reading starter pitched around four doubles - two from both Ray Chang and Luis Exposito, including back-to-back doubles to lead off the fourth, without allowing a run to score.

Despite picking up the loss, Portland starter Casey Kelly (0-2) enjoyed his longest outing of the season, going five innings.  Kelly relinquished just four hits, two walks, and two runs (one earned), however he departed on the hook, as the Sea Dogs’ offense could only muster one run against Naylor.

Domonic Brown was a large thorn in Kelly’s side, hitting a double and a home run in three at-bats against the 20-year old righty.  Brown would also score on Brandon Pinckney’s sac fly in the fourth to account for both of Kelly’s runs. 

Brown’s fifth inning home run proved to be the difference, as it gave the Phillies a 2-1 lead.  His run in the fourth was made possible by some shaky defensive work from the usually sure-handed Jose Iglesias, who uncharacteristically committed two of Portland’s three errors on the night.

The Sea Dogs’ lone run came in the first inning, when Juan Apodaca came in to score on Luis Exposito’s ground out to short.  Exposito would end the night two-for-four, extending his hitting streak to five games (9-18, .500).

Robert Coello continued his strong start to the season for Portland, tossing three innings of scoreless baseball, allowing two hits and striking out four, in relief of Kelly.  The four-strikeout performance is his sixth consecutive outing with at least two punch-outs (20 strikeouts overall in that span).

The Reading bullpen proved to be just as lights out as Naylor.  A brief third of an inning out of Matt German bridged the gap to Michael Schwimer, who went the final inning and two-thirds to pick up his third save of the season.

The Sea Dogs will look to salvage the final game of this series, while finishing with a winning homestand, as they play a 12:00 game against the Phillies on Thursday at Hadlock Field.  Stephen Fife (1-1, 2.66) takes the ball for Portland, against Reading’s Vance Worley (1-2, 5.40 ERA).

Notes: Ryan Kalish pinch hit for Juan Apodaca in the eighth, and singled, to reach base safely for his 15^thconsecutive game….Bryce Cox struck out two in a scoreless ninth, as Portland pitching combined for ten strikeouts…….the paid attendance for tonight’s game was 3,643.
