Erie, PA (April 28, 2026) – The Chesapeake Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, began their six-game road series with a wall-to-wall domination of the Erie SeaWolves, the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, by an 11-3 final on Tuesday night.
Chesapeake (11-10) led from the game’s first frame and did not look back, matching the season best with 11 runs scored and hammering three homers on the night.
Anderson De Los Santos mashed the first Baysox bomb of the night – a towering three-run homer that cleared the 36-foot-high stripe in left field to give Chesapeake an early 3-0 lead.
It was the fourth homer of the season for De Los Santos, who currently has a 1.154 OPS in his first 19 games of 2026 – fifth-best in the Eastern League amongst hitters with at least 60 plate appearances.
Chesapeake continued to add on early against Erie right-handed starter Kenny Serwa (L, 1-4). In the fourth, a pair of runners reached for Adam Retzbach, who drove a double to deep center field to extend the Baysox lead. Retzbach later scored in the frame on a Carter Young RBI single.

Yates (W, 1-1) exited after five complete frames and the Baysox ahead 6-2.

The Baysox ran away with the Tuesday night contest in the late innings. Chesapeake took advantage of a pair of wild pitches to plate two more in the seventh, with one run coming home on a sacrifice fly RBI from Aron Estrada.
The Baysox bolstered their lead further in the eighth, when Retzbach slammed Chesapeake’s second homer of the night out to right-center field – a two-run shot to complete his four RBI night. Retzbach’s second long ball of the season made it a 10-2 game.
