Stewart Slams Portland in 13-7 Win

DJ Stewart delivered the knockout blow. His fifth inning grand slam ended a seven-run Baysox rally that lifted the Baysox to a 13-7 rain-shortened win in Portland Saturday night.
The slam was the exclamation point on a big night for Stewart who drove in a career-high six runs on the night. He had a sacrifice fly in the first inning and an RBI-single up the middle in the fourth. In the fifth, Stewart's grand slam was a no doubt shot into the top of the seats in right field at Hadlock Field. It was his second home run in as many nights and his 15^th of the season.
Bowie took the lead without a hit in the first as Red Sox rehabbing reliever Carson Smith walked the first three batters of the game. The Baysox led 4-0 after the top of the third when Bowie got two-out RBI hits from Aderlin Rodriguez and Adrian Marin.
Yefry Ramírez battled command in his Orioles organizational debut but notched his league-leading 11^th win allowing three runs on 5 and 2/3^rd innings. Ryan Flaherty rehabbed with Bowie and went 0-for-2 with three walks and three runs scored. Garabez Rosa notched four hits to lead all Baysox in the win.
