NOTES: After two starts with Pawtucket, knuckleballer Charlie Haeger returns to the Sea Dogs (14-9) where he last pitched in 2011 before missing the entire 2012 season with an elbow injury. In his prior stint with Portland, Haeger went 4-1 with a 3.24 ERA and 49 strikeouts in 50 innings. He has pitched parts of five seasons in the majors throughout his 11 year career, compiling a 2-7 record with a 6.40 ERA...Mike Augliera will look for this third straight win tonight in Wilmington. The Salem Sox (12-11) starter has allowed 2 earned runs in each of his last two outings, including a 7 inning start last Thursday against the Blue Rocks where he had a season high 6 strikeouts. With three hits last night third baseman Garin Cecchini extended his hitting streak to seven games, including six straight multi-hit games. Cecchini is batting .519 during the streak. Teammate Sean Coyle had his seven game hit streak snapped last night...Cody Kukuk makes his fifth start of the season for Greenville (10-15) tonight and his fourth on the road. The lefty is 1-2 with a 5.11 ERA away from Fluor Field, striking out 4 batters in each of his three road starts. Kukuk has allowed only 9 hits over 17 1/3 innings, but his 11 free passes pushes his WHIP to 1.15, a reasonable number that can easily be wittled down with more work.

New Hampshire Fisher Cats – Marcus Walden (1-3, 3.29 ERA, 12 Ks)
at Trenton Thunder – Jose Ramirez (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 6 Ks)

NOTES: Rock Cats (13-12) starter Logan Darnell enters the day with the 11th best ERA in the Eastern League, looking to secure a successful homestand with a win. On the flip side, he also brings with him the 12th highest WHIP (1.52) in the league, so he will need to limit the hits, of which he has yielded 15 over his last two starts. Darnell threw 5 innings of 1-run ball against Harrisburg back on April 9th, but did not factor in the decision and did not strike out a batter...Marcus Walden will look to build off the success of his first win in his last start against Reading on Friday. In his last two starts the right-hander from Fresno has allowed only 2 earned runs in 13 2/3 innings. However, he has allowed 7 or more hits in each of his five starts and the 42 hits he has given up are most in the E.L. The good side on those numbers is that none of those 42 hits have left the yard and he has only walked 6 batters. Fisher Cats (11-15) first baseman Clint Robinson (.318 batting average) has a five game hit streak brewing.

Salem Red Sox third baseman Garin Cecchini was named the Carolina League Player of the Week on Monday for the period of April 22nd through 28th.

Boston’s top prospect at the hot corner, Cecchini has been on fire at the plate after going hitless in the first two games of the season.

Last week Garin hit safely in all six games that the team played, rattling off five straight two-hit games, including a two triple affair on Saturday. He also drove in 7 runs, scored 10 times and stole a base in his only attempt.

On the year he has a league high .373 batting average and 4 triples. Of Cecchini’s 28 hits, 12 have been for extra bases and he has stolen 8 bags.

More impressively, he has walked (13) more times than he has struck out (12) and he maintains a .466 on-base percentage to go with his 1.106 OPS, which is topped only by teammate Sean Coyle who has a league high 1.159 OPS.

Cecchini was the Red Sox's 2012 Minor League Base Runner of the Year after swiping 51 bases in 2012 and has been named a New York-Penn (2011) and South Atlantic League (2012) All-Stars in his first two professional seasons. This is his first Player of the Week honor.

at Wilmington Blue Rocks – Kyle Zimmer (0-1, 3.38 ERA, 29 Ks)

NOTES: A washout in Greenville sets up a twin bill today before the Drive (9-14) head out on a 7 game road swing. Austin Maddox will go in game one, his first start since April 16th and first appearance since the 21st when he allowed 4 earned runs and 8 hits in 4 1/3 innings of relief. In game two Frank Montas makes his fourth start of the season having given up 4 earned runs in each of his last three, none of which lasted more than 4 innings. The duo possess two of three worst WHIPs on the team, Maddox is low man with a 2.05…It has been twenty days since Steven Wright last toed the rubber for the PawSox (14-10). He did make his major league debut during that time, although it wasn’t under the best conditions (he did however strike out 4 in 3 2/3 innings). He will surely get another shot in the neat future, hopefully under more apt skies, but tonight Wright squares off against one of the top pitching prospects at McCoy Stadium. Columbus starter Trevor Bauer, the number three selection in the 2011 draft, is ranked as the 17th best overall prospect in the game by MLB.com. In 18 innings pitched he has struck out 24 batters…The Sea Dogs (13-9) shift to Reading, Pennsylvania after taking 2 of 3 from Trenton over the weekend. Brandon Workman will get his fourth start of the season tonight. He has pitched 5 or more inning in each appearance he has made this season, including a 5-inning stint in relief. Workman brings a 0.78 WHIP (3rd best in the Eastern League) and 28 strikeouts (6th best in E.L.) into tonight’s start…Henry Owens got an extra day of rest after yesterday’s postponement and will now pitch a road start instead of at home. He is coming off of his best start of the season against the very Blue Rocks that he will face tonight. In last Tuesday’s outing the 6’6” lefty twirled 6 innings of shutout ball, allowing only 3 hits and a walk while striking out 6. The Salem Red Sox (11-10) took 3 of 4 from Wilmington last week at home.

New Hampshire Fisher Cats – Ryan Tepera (3-0, 2.42 ERA, 10 Ks)
at Trenton Thunder – Matt Tracy (1-2, 13.17 ERA, 9 Ks)

NOTES: The Rock Cats (12-11) welcome the Harrisburg Senators to New Britain for a four game series. Tonight’s starter Trevor May is coming off of a complete game (7 innings) shutout of New Hampshire where he allowed only 3 hits and struck out 4. May ran into some early troubles in that outing, but managed to get out of jams while getting stronger as the game wore on. His 2.11 ERA is 8th best in the Eastern League…Ryan Tepera has been a pleasant surprise for the Fisher Cats (11-13) thus far. Having logged 5+ innings in each of his four starts he has picked up 3 wins. In his last outing versus New Britain he tossed 6 innings of one-hit baseball and induced 11 ground ball outs.

at Greenville Drive – Brian Johnson (0-1, 2.70 ERA, 3 Ks)

NOTES: The PawSox (13-9) welcome Allen Webster back to the hill following his big league debut this past Sunday. There seem to be a million story lines when the Columbus Clippers pull up to McCoy Stadium for four games. The good is that Jackie Bradley Jr. will make his Pawtucket debut. The bad is Joel Hanrahan who is on a rehab stint and was tagged up for a two-out double and two-run homer in his first appearance last night. The ugly is the arrival of Alfredo Aceves (not scheduled to pitch in this series) who probably won’t hit the clubhouse in the best of moods. And the cherry on top of it all is the return of Daisuke Matsuzaka, who will start for Columbus on Sunday…Michael McCarthy gets his second start for Salem (10-10) who had a three game win streak snapped on Friday night. Third baseman Garin Cecchini, who was the only Salem Sox player with a multi-hit game last night, has collected 2 hits in each of his last four games and has hit safely in five straight…The Sea Dogs (11-9) look to Anthony Ranaudo to continue his hot start. The 6’7” righty is churning out the production that many expected from him when he was a first-round pick in 2010. He has won back-to-back starts and is averaging only 76 pitches over his first three…In his last outing Brian Johnson had some control issues, yielding 5 walks in just 2 2/3 innings. You can chalk it up to a bit of rust after being shut down for two weeks, so expect a better performance now as he continues to gain a rhythm. Greenville (8-14) probably needs to worry more about their bats as the Drive come into the day with a team average of .215, worst in the Eastern League. Four of their everyday players – Mookie Betts (.167), Jose Vinicio (.197), Boss Moanaroa (.200) and Aneury Tavarez (.205) – are in the bottom 20 in the league in batting average.

at New Britain Rock Cats – B.J. Hermsen (0-1, 9.64 ERA, 3 Ks)

NOTES: Prior to the start of the season Deck McGuire was adamant that he become a more consistent pitcher. It looked as if he may be following through on that when he put together back-to-back quality starts. Then he quickly dropped back to square one following a drubbing at the hands of Binghamton who tuned him up for 8 runs on 6 hits and 6 walks. He has one start against Reading this season, his first of the year, when he picked up a loss but struck out a season high 7 batters. The Fisher Cats (10-12) moved to .500 on the road (4-4) with Friday night’s win over the Fightin’ Phils…The Rock Cats (11-10) throw B.J. Hermsen for the second time this season. Outfield Jonathan Goncalvez, who started the season with High-A Ft. Myers where he collected 6 extra-base hits in 11 games, has already picked up 4 extra-base hits since joining the New Britain on April 18th, including 2 home runs.

NOTES: After a split of a doubleheader in Buffalo yesterday the PawSox (13-8) are looking to earn a split of both their four game series with the Bisons and their eight-game road trip. Chris Hernandez hits the hill for Pawtucket looking to halt a personal two-game losing streak. The PawSox return home for eight games starting tomorrow when Jackie Bradley Jr. makes his McCoy Stadium debut…After two tough outings to begin the season, top pitching prospect Matt Barnes steadied himself last time out, striking out 7 and allowing only 1 run in 6 innings versus New Britain. He will look to build on that momentum as he continues to get a feel for Double-A ball. The Sea Dogs (11-8) will look to get back on the winning track after having their season-high six game win streak snapped on Thursday night… Much like Barnes, William Cuevas got off on the wrong foot to start the season, allowing 8 runs in his debut. In his two starts since he has been a rock for Salem, going 5 innings in each, allowing only a run, 3 hits and 2 walks in that span. The Salem Sox (10-9) are in the midst of a three game winning streak and will face a Lynchburg team that they swept for three on the road just last weekend…Greenville’s Justin Haley seems to have finally found his form. After walking 16 batters in his first three appearances, he allowed only one free pass against Lexington last Saturday. In his prior start on April 15th against West Virginia, Haley was removed from the game after only 3 2/3 innings because he had surrendered 6 walks, despite not allowing a hit. In 15 1/3 innings of work this season he has allowed only 6 hits, while doing a decent job of not allowing those walks to cost him, having allowed only 5 earned runs. The Drive (8-13) are 2-12 since sweeping a double header against Lexington back on April 12th.

NOTES: After finishing three games in a 20-hour span in New Hampshire, the Rock Cats (10-10) head home to New Britain to start a three game series with Richmond. Logan Darnell is tonight’s starter for the home team, fresh off a tough outing against Portland last Saturday. The Sea Dogs popped him for 7 hits and New Britain took a 7-1 loss that day. Otherwise, Darnell has been good, having allowing only 2 runs in his first 15 2/3 innings…The Fisher Cats (9-12) hit the road and first stop is Reading with Marcus Walden on the hill. The righty from Fresno has allowed a league high 35 hits over 20 1/3 innings, leading to a 1.97 WHIP despite allowing only 5 base-on-balls. Proof that sometimes having solid command is not as good as having solid location.

MANCHESTER, N.H. - On what many around Northeast Delta Dental Stadium were calling the first “best day of the year,” New Hampshire and New Britain heeded the advice of Ernie Banks and “played two,” splitting their Wednesday night double header with shutout performances on both ends.

The nightcap saw the hosts take a 3-0 pitcher’s duel behind six shutout innings from starter Ryan Tepera who allowed only one hit and one walk to earn his third win of the season.

"I felt great," said Tepera. "I tried to stay aggressive in the strike zone, keep the ball down and I let my defense do most of the job. I mixed pitches very well and felt like I had pretty good command all night long and it worked out for me."

"He was the key to the game," said Fisher Cats manager Gary Allenson of his starter.

Rock Cats starter Pat Dean faced only one batter over the minimum through four innings, but ran into trouble in the fifth before getting bailed out by the arm of Jonathan Goncalves who threw out Brian Van Kirk at the plate on a single to right by Kevin Ahrens.

The next batter, catcher Jack Murphy, made sure the next runner headed home would not be tested as he roped a double to left field, scoring Ahrens easily for the only run the Fisher Cats would need.

"That's a big hit because it was like the first team to score, wins," said Allenson.

New Hampshire would plate two more in the sixth inning, including a solo home run to dead center from Ryan Schimpf, his fifth of the season.

Chad Beck came on to shut the door on the Rock Cats in the seventh inning, striking out two to earn his fifth save.

"It's nice to get back in the win column," said Allenson whose team had lost three straight heading into the second game. "It feels like it had been two weeks for us."

A complete game effort from Trevor May helped the New Britain capture a 5-0 victory in the game one.

"We didn't hit many hard off him," said Allenson about May. "He challenged with fastballs and we couldn't hit him."

The Fisher Cats were the first to pose a threat in the early evening affair, loading the bases in the first inning after Kevin Pillar’s lead-off double, but the threat was nixed when Trevor May forced Ricarco Nanita to ground out to first to end the inning.

The Rock Cats made them pay the following inning when number nine hitter Jonathan Goncalves launched a two-out, two-run homer into the picnic grounds in left field for his first Double-A long ball and a 2-0 lead that would not be relinquished.

May and the Rock Cats ran into trouble again in the third inning, allowing runners at second and third with one out, but were once again able to get out of the jam with two fly ball outs to second baseman James Beresford.

New Britain padded their lead with two more runs in the top of the fourth inning, highlighted by former Red Sox farmhand Reynaldo Rodriguez’s RBI triple, his first of the year.

Despite tossing 41 pitches in the first two innings, May settled down and retired 12 in a row over the final five frames, earning a seven-inning, complete game victory, his first win with New Britain.

All three Fisher Cats hits that May yielded were doubles via Pillar, Clint Robinson and Adam Loewen.

NOTES: Pat Light gets his first start for Greenville since April 12th. He appeared in relief, piggy-backing the rehab start of Franklin Morales on April 17th, but did not fare well at all, allowing 5 hits, 3 walks and 3 runs in 2 2/3 innings of work. In Light's two starts this season he has allowed only 1 walk to 9 Ks...It's another rehab starter in Portland tonight as lefty Craig Breslow takes to the hill at Hadlock. He is expected to throw one inning in his continued return from tendinitis in his left shoulder...Rubby De La Rosa gets his fourth start of the season for Pawtucket. He is still being limited in his work as he continues to work back from Tommy John surgery, but thus far the results have been sub-par. The good news was that in his last start, he did not allow a home run for the first time this season. The bad news was that he walked a season high 3 batters in 2 innings...Henry Owens also hits the hill for his fourth start of the season. He has gone 5 innings in each of his first three starts, striking out a season high 7 in his last outing against Potomac.

NOTES: The Fisher and Rock Cats renew their rivalry at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium tonight, the start of a three game series. New Britain took two of three at home last week, but have since lost three in a row. Rock Cats starter Trevor May had a season high 8 strikeouts against New Hampshire last Tuesday. Fisher Cats starter Tyson Brummett threw 5 scoreless innings versus the Rock Cats last Wednesday. Despite both starters not factoring in the decisions in those games, their respective teams did win in their starts.

NOTES: In Portland John Lackey makes his first rehab start since straining his right bicep in his first start of the season with Boston on April 7th. He is scheduled to throw 4 innings or 65 pitches. The Sea Dogs, winners of four of their last five, will look to extend a three game winning streak…If it wasn’t for the 5 walks in his first start of the season, Terry Doyle’s WHIP would be near non-existent. At 0.65, it is still the fourth best WHIP in the International League, having yielded just 5 hits over 18 1/3 innings. He tossed 5 innings of 2-hit ball in a no decision against Rochester back on April 13th…Mike McCarthy is scheduled to get his first start of the season for Salem tonight. He has allowed at least a run in his 3 relief appearances with his last action coming back on April 16th when he allowed a run on four hits in 3 innings of work. Last season McCarthy started 4 games for Salem.

NOTES: For the second time in three days the PawSox (10-3) host a noon matinee at McCoy Stadium. Many are wondering if this will be David Ortiz's last rehab start before linking up with Boston, but based purely on results at the plate, it may take a few more ABs to prove he is 100% ready to go. Meanwhile Rubby De La Rosa will look to keep the ball in the park in his start today. He has allowed 3 home runs over 4 2/3 innings, one of which was the only hit he allowed in his last start versus Rochester. Today's opponent, Lehigh Valley, took De La Rosa deep twice back on April 8th...Portland (6-6) returns to Hadlock Field tonight against New England rival New Britain (7-6). Sea Dogs starter Kyle Kaminska has lasted 5 innings in his first two outings, but at the cost of allowing 16 hits and 9 earned runs. He has shown decent command, allowing only a walk, but unfortunately has left some hitable balls in the zone. He will face off against Alex Meyer who has struck out 14 batters in his first 10 innings pitched this season. Unfortunately, like Kaminska, he has been hit around a bit, allowing 12 hits over his two starts...Kyle Stroup looks to regroup in his third start for the Salem Sox (4-8). After a solid debut where he three 5 scoreless innings, Stroup was less reliable in his follow-up, yeilding 4 walks, 4 hits and 5 runs over 4 innings. Salem will need him to be on today in order to halt a three game slide...Frank Montas is another pitcher looking for a rebound. In his last start for the Drive (7-7) he last only 2 2/3 innings, allowing 4 runs off of 4 walks and 2 hits. Greenville heads to Lexington for their second straight four-game weekend series against the Legends. The teams split last weekend's series.

Tonight's start Ryan Tepera was solid last Saturday versus the Mets, throwing 6 innings of 3-hit ball for his second win of the year. New Hampshire outfielder John Tolisano has reached base in all 14 games this season, smacking 16 hits and drawing 9 base-on-balls. His 7 doubles are tied for most in the Eastern League.

PAWTUCKET, R.I. – If Tuesday’s baseball game at McCoy Stadium was a boxing match, the first inning was the feeling out process.

The next five innings turned into the slugfest with Lehigh Valley holding on over the final three frames to beat the Pawtucket Red Sox, 8-6, in an afternoon matinee.

“The guys did a good job and battled,” said Pawtucket manager Gary DiSarcina. “We made some mistakes in the field, didn’t play a clean game and two big hits crushed us.”

Despite only one second inning hit, Pawtucket gained a 2-0 lead after collecting a couple of walks and a sacrifice fly to center field off the bat of Jeremy Hazelbaker.

In the third inning Lehigh Valley jumped on opportunity to gain a lead of their own following a Justin Henry error at third base kept the inning alive for Leandro Castro who jacked a three-run homer to left field over the Pawtucket bullpen, for a 3-2 lead.

“Chris [Martin] made a couple of mistakes and they hammered him,” said DiSarcina of his starting pitcher who allowed 7 runs (3 earned) over 5 innings. “We had more than just a physical error [today].”

The very next inning Tommy Joseph, Philadelphia’s top catching prospect, launched a three-run bomb of his own to left field, clearing the bullpen and putting the IronPigs up 6-2 in the fourth inning.

“I think those would have been home runs if the wind was blowing in,” said Pawtucket manager Gary DiSarcina in reference to the heavy winds blowing out during the game. “Two innings in a row, three run home runs, it’s tough to come back from that.

Pawtucket responded by adding two runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings, but the IronPigs followed up with a run of their own in the fifth and sixth innings to keep the PawSox at arms-length with an 8-6 lead.

In the seventh inning Pawtucket drew back-to-back, two-out walks, but Henry popped one up behind the third base bag that nullified the threat.

IronPigs relievers Jake Diekman (win) and Mike Stutes (save) handled the final two innings with relative ease, combining for three strikeouts while allowing no base runners.

NOTES: In his fourth rehab start David Ortiz went 0-for-4, batting third in the lineup. DiSarcina said of Ortiz, “He just needs to get out there and have at-bats. We have two more days here [on a homestand], if he gets eight at-bats we will reassess where he is after those at-bats.”…Jose Iglesias went 1-for-5 with 2 strikeouts. He is 3-for-19 since being sent down to Pawtucket. “He’s hit the ball hard over the last two games and has nothing to show for it,” said DiSarcina. “He doesn’t have a ton of good results right now, but he has put together some at-bats. He just looks like he’s in-and-out of his approach. He’s kind of all over the place right now.”…A bright spot in the PawSox lineup was Mitch Maier who went 3-for-3 with a walk, RBI and two runs scored. “He gets down in the count and is not afraid to hit with two strikes,” DiSarcina said of Maier. “We love having him here. He’s a baseball player and he throws up good at-bats every time he goes out there.” Maier is batting .455 since being activated three games ago.

Portland Sea Dogs reliever Chris Martin was named the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week on Monday for the period of April 4th through the 14th. During that time he made three appearances, logging 9 innings for a 1-0 record with 12 strikeouts and a league best 0.64 WHIP.

The 6’7” right-hander tossed three shutout innings each time he has hit the hill, flashing a 95 mile-per-hour fastball that has been nearly unhittable by the opposition. In his first appearance on April 5th versus Trenton, he whiffed 7 batters on a night that saw temps dip down into the 30s.

Martin, a free agent pickup in 2011, split duties a season ago, starting 12 of the 23 games he appeared in with Portland. He struck out 65 over 76 1/3 innings in 2012.

Less than 24 hours removed from Monday's tragic events in Boston, just 45 minutes south of where the bombings transpired, the Pawtucket Red Sox readied for a Tuesday matinee with heavy hearts.

The tone in the clubhouse prior to the noon start time was more solemn than usual as players scurried to their duties in an effort to put their minds elsewhere.

A ten year veteran of Boston, David Ortiz, who is in the midst of a rehab stint with the PawSox, addressed the situation after some pre-game running.

"For anyone related to Boston, or even not related to Boston, it was a hard day," said the Red Sox slugger, looking around the room in an effort to put together the proper words. "At the time I got pretty angry. I couldn’t process anything through my stomach last night, especially watching the news."

Ortiz, who was back in the Pawtucket lineup on Tuesday after back-to-back scratches, struggled to grasp the events that occurred in the city he calls home.

"Why would people do things like that," Ortiz questioned. "I was watching the news last night, saw this 8-year-old kid that was right there with his mom and sister, waiting for his dad to cross the finish line and all I think about is, "How can this happen?" I’m very sad and got very emotional last night.

"You have a lot of people sacrificing themselves to raise money [through racing] and some [expletive] just come out with things like that. It’s not fair, man. It’s not fair. It was a tough day yesterday."

Pawtucket manager Gary DiSarcina, a native of Billerica, dealt with the added emotion of having to locate his daughter who was en route to Boston's South Station from New York by bus.

"We were frantically texting between her, myself, her mom and her aunt who was supposed to pick her up," DiSarcina said about the situation. "So we had a lot of things going on. She was crying and didn’t know what to do. For me personally it was frustrating and a little distracting at the beginning of the game. My son came in here and found out that she was okay."

DiSarcina was then tasked with having to manage his team amidst the emotional events that were unfolding while his team was on the field last night.

"It can be distracting, but the bottom line, when the game starts, the other team doesn’t give a rats [expletive]. They're going to try and go out and beat you. You’ve got to try and put that stuff aside for 2-3 hours and when the game is over then reality sets back in."

For another local in the clubhouse, Alex Hassan, the tragedy hit especially close to home.

"I know someone who was personally affected by it and it’s a really sad thing," said Hassan. "It’s really tragic, and really sad. We’re praying for all of the people who are affected by this and their families at this time."

A native of Milton and a B.C. High graduate, Hassan possess an admiration for the region he called home for 18 years.

"I'm familiar with the area, the sports teams, the schools, the hospitals and it’s where I grew up," said Hassan. "It’s a special place to me, it always will be."

Unfortunately, that which made the Patriots Day holiday in Massachusetts so special is now forever scarred.

"It’s a really big event with the marathon and people coming from all over the world to celebrate this day that is pretty special to Boston," Hassan said. "It’s a cool day and I certainly have some really good memories, but it’s really tragic with how yesterday unfolded."

"It’s a special day for everyone, especially here in Boston," concluded Ortiz. "People from all over the planet come for [the marathon] and try to do their best to have that beautiful event that’s been going on for years. It’s something that is very special. Things turning out like yesterday, it’s horrible. It’s horrible."

At Greenville Drive – Justin Haley (0-0, 2.70 ERA, 11 Ks)

NOTES: Allen Webster finally gets his “official” second start of the season after his April 10th start versus Lehigh Valley was postponed just two innings in. Webster will look to start the way he did in that outing, striking out four before the rains wiped it all away…By all accounts Anthony Ranaudo looked very strong in his first game action since last July. In his April 9th start versus Reading he struck out 6 and allowed only a run in 5 innings. Two solid starts to kick off his return to action will help ease the tensions of skeptics…The Salem Sox (4-5) picked up a nice walk-off win at home last night on a Keury De La Cruz two-out double that plated Sean Coyle and Deven Marrero. They will look to carry that momentum into their three –game set against Potomac starting tonight. The Sox took 2 of 3 from the Nationals on the road last week. In their one loss of that series starter William Cuevas allowed 8 earned runs in 2 2/3 innings…The Drive (6-5) return to Fluor Field for a quick three game home stand on the heels of a 4-3 road trip. Tonight’s starter Justin Haley has allowed 10 walks in his first 6 2/3 innings of work. With Lowell last season he allowed 16 walks in 33 1/3 innings.

New Hampshire Fisher Cats – Marcus Walden (0-1, 4.15 ERA, 6 Ks)
at New Britain Rock Cats – Logan Darnell (0-0, 1.04 ERA, 2 Ks)

NOTES: The season’s first ‘Battle of the Cats’ commences in New Britain tonight, the start of a three game series. Marcus Walden gets his third start of the season, having going 4 1/3, allowing 3 runs in each of his first two starts. Kevin Pillar will look to extend his nine game hitting streak. The Fisher Cats outfielder is batting .421 versus left handed pitchers, which is what he will get tonight in the form of Rock Cats starter Logan Darnell. In two starts Darnell has allowed 9 hits and 5 walks for a 1.62 WHIP that is ninth highest in the Eastern League. On the bright side, he’s only allowed one of those base runners to score, giving him a 1.04 ERA, fourth best in the league.

at Salem Red Sox – Mike Augliera (2012: 1-3, 4.42 ERA, 43 Ks)

NOTES: The PawSox (8-1) are off to the best start in club history and will look to Jeremy Kehrt to help in locking down a four-game sweep of Rochester. This will be Kehrt's first outing of the season after being activated from the disabled list with a right calf strain. Yesterday Pawtucket pulled out a little deja vu, sweeping their doubleheader over the Red Wings, both with scores of 7-1 and with game times of 2 hours and 18 minutes...Matt Barnes gets his second start of the season for Portland (4-4). Because of a 33-pitch first inning last time out, he didn't get to see much action. However, his fastball was steady, topping out around 94-95 mph and he tossed a 77-mph breaking ball that was nipping at the corners of the plate while buckling some legs. Look for a much longer outing today...The Drive (6-4) had their four-game winning streak halted by the Legends on Saturday. They cap their four-game set in Lexington today, head home to Greenville for three games against West Virginia, then turn right back around and head back to Lexington for another four-game series starting on Thursday...Salem's (3-5) brief two-game win streak was snapped last night. Today Mike Augliera looks to get things back on track with his own personal two-game win streak. He went 6 innings in his debut to earn the victory of Potomac on Monday. Garin Cecchini will look to pitch in and extend his six-game hitting streak.

NOTES: The only man in the Eastern League (and possibly all of baseball, I just don’t have the will to check) whose last name ends in ‘X’, hits the hill for his third Fisher Cats (6-4) start this season. Despite being hooked with the loss in his last outing, Austin Bibens-Dirkx has been great thus far. His 0.69 ERA is second best in the EL and he is currently holding down a 1.00 WHIP. He will be opposed by Rafael Montero who MLB.com ranks as the fourth best pitching prospect for the New York Mets. Last season between Savannah and St. Lucie he averaged 8.1 K/9 and had a 5.79:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Montero has struck out 15 batters in his first 11 2/3 innings pitched this season.

Owens threw five scoreless innings in his debut against the Frederick Keys. He used 70 pitches and allowed 2 hits and 2 walks while striking out 4. All the hits and walks that Owens allowed in that game were to left handed batters...Portland and New Britain's early brunch battle was postponed early in the morning.

at Binghamton Mets - Tyler Pill (2012: 9-5, 2.31 ERA, 105 Ks)

NOTES: After one Triple-A start with Buffalo, Tyson Brummett makes his Fisher Cats debut in Binghamton tonight. Against Rochester on Sunday, in just 1/3 of an inning, he allowed 3 runs, 3 hits and 4 earned runs. Brummett is used to life in the Eastern League having pitched for Reading in parts of the last five seasons. New Hampshire has one four of their last five on the heels of a solid outing Thursday night from Deck McGuire who allowed only 1 run over seven innings. After going hitlesss in his first two games, outfielder Kevin Pillar is 12-for-26 while hitting safely in the last five.
