Bowie, MD (September 6, 2026) – The Chesapeake Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, lost to the Portland Sea Dogs, the Double-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, by a 9-7 final on Sunday afternoon.
In its home regular season finale, Chesapeake (34-29, 63-67) carried an early 3-1 lead into the fourth before Portland scored seven combined runs across the fourth and fifth innings. The Baysox came back within one when they scored a fourth straight run in the eighth but couldn't ever fully erase the deficit.
The Sea Dogs took an opening lead in the second off of Baysox left-handed starter Sebastian Gongora. Henry Godbout (3-for-5) led the inning off with a home run to left center field.
Against Portland right-handed starter Caleb Bolden, Chesapeake took a lead right back, 2-1, with a two-run home half of the second inning. Victor Figeuroa and Tavian Josenberger (3-for-5) reached on a walk and double, respectively, before they both scored on a Anderson De Los Santos two-out, looping two-run single to left-center field.

Portland took a one-run lead in the fourth inning off Pham. Tyler McDonough hit a three-run home run to right field to put the Sea Dogs up 4-3.

Portland extended its lead to 8-3 with a four-run fifth inning. Against righty Richard Guasch, Johanfran Garcia scored on a balk before the Sea Dogs hit back-to-back homers. Will Turner hit a two-run shot to right center field before Max Ferguson left the same part of the park a few pitches later.
