PORTLAND — A night removed from a combined 24- run output, the Portland Sea Dogs (16-23) and Altoona Curve (23-14) played a starkly different contest in game two of a Eastern League series, with Altoona winning 2-1 Wednesday night at Hadlock Field.
Jason Creasy (4-0) earned the win, throwing seven innings and allowing just one run on six hits while striking out three.
Mike Augliera (1-7) posted his third quality start of the season but got the loss, allowing two earned runs on eight hits in 6 1-3 innings.
Altoona scored both of its runs with two outs — first in the top of the first on an RBI double by Edward Salcedo and a two-out, RBI single by Josh Bell in the fifth.
The Sea Dogs scored their lone run in the sixth inning on an RBI single by Oscar Tejeda.
The series’ rubber match takes place tonight at 6 p.m.
