After being swept in a three-game series by the Trenton Thunder, the Sea Dogs open up a short, three-game roadtrip in New Britain, CT on Friday night…RHP Chris Martin (1–2, 4.13) faces LHP Logan Darnell (3–0, 4.56) in the series opener…Portland has the second worst record in Minor League Baseball behind the Rome Braves (6–20 in the South Atlantic League — Low A).

- RIP Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys…I had their records when I was younger. Yes, I’m old
