Roman Quinn gave the Reading Fightin Phils (34-18) the lead on three separate occasions in a 6-4 Eastern League win over the Portland Sea Dogs (18-33) on Tuesday at Hadlock Field.

Quinn led off the game with a solo home run off of Ty Buttrey into the Sea Dogs’ bullpen in right field, singled in the fifth to make it 2-1 and singled again in the sixth to make it 5-4. He also made two excellent running catches in center field to rob Andrew Benintendi on both occasions.

The Sea Dogs got on the board and tied the game at one in the third inning on an RBI double by Tzu-Wei Lin off to score Rainel Rosario, who had reached on a fielder’s choice.

Each team scored three runs in the fifth inning. Reading scored on a bases loaded single by Quinn to score Angelo Mora. Next Aaron Brown scored on a wild pitch by Buttrey to extend the lead to 3-1. Then Dylan Cozens walked with the bases still loaded to make it 4-1. Buttrey allowed four runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings while walking four and striking out five.

Portland responded in the bottom half of the frame with three unearned runs. After Henry Ramos reached base on an error with two out, Sean Coyle followed up with a double, then Benintendi hit a two-run single to cut the deficit to one and advanced to third on an error. Ryan Court singled in Benintendi to tie the game at four.

The teams meet again tonight, with first pitch scheduled for 7 p.m.
