AKRON, Ohio — Jordan Smith and Luigi Rodriguez both homered to lead the Akron RubberDucks to a 3-0 victory over the Portland Sea Dogs on Sunday at Canal Park.
Portland and Akron were originally scheduled to play a doubleheader on Sunday after their game Saturday was postponed. Sunday’s first game was delayed by rain for 4 hours, 4 minutes and the teams played just one nine inning game. The second game will not be made up because the teams do not play again this season.
Nick Pasquale earned the win for the RubberDucks (60-60), pitching six scoreless innings. He helped Portland to five hits, struck out three and walked three.
The Sea Dogs (45-73) had their best scoring opportunity in the first when they loaded the bases. Ryan Court popped out to second to end the threat.
Smith put Akron up 2-0 in the fourth inning with a two-run homer.
Rodriguez made it 3-0 in the sixth with a solo homer.
Portland’s Aneury Tavarez went 1 for 3, extending his on-base streak to 17 games.
