Double-A Altoona gets blown out

It was a long one for Double-A Altoona on Saturday. Facing one of the most talented lineups in all of minor league baseball, the Curve pitchign staff was rocked in a 15-1 loss against the Bowie Baysox to fall to 33-34 this season. This performance makes Anthony Solometo's dominant performance on Friday night even more impressive.

Lefty Omar Cruz helped to settle things down. In 3.1 scoreless innings pitched Cruz retired all 10 batters he faced and struck out two. Bear Bellomy allowed a hit and struck a batter out in a scoreless 9th inning.

Continuing his rehab assignment, veteran Ji Man Choi went 0-for-3 with a strikeout. Andres Alvarez provided most of the Curve offense going 3-for-4. Connor Scott was 1-for-4 with a RBI, Abrahan Gutierrez was 0-for-2 with two walks and a run scored, and Claudio Finol was 1-for-4.
