Trenton will play Portland 12 times in 17 days between 6/23 and 7/9. They snapped a three-game losing skid by pulling out a 6-3 victory in 11 innings on Sunday afternoon.

TRENTON THUNDER GAME NOTES Trenton Thunder (45-35, Yankees) at Portland Sea Dogs (34-47, Red Sox) Games 81 & 82 of 142 Monday July 2, :00 PM Hadlock Field Portland, ME Gm. 1: RHP Brett Marshall (8-3, 3.09) vs. RHP Chris Martin (3-4, 4.25) Gm. 2: RHP Ryan Pope (3-5, 4.76) vs. RHP Jeremy Kehrt (2-1, 5.36) Radio: 91.3 FM (WTSR) & 1490 AM (WBCB) (Josh Maurer) Trenton: Home (22-18), Road (23-17) Portland: Home (19-18), Road (15-29) ANOTHER WEEKLY HONOR: LHP Vidal Nuño was named the EL Pitcher of the Week for 6/25-7/1. In two starts last week (each against Portland), Nuño went 1-0 with a 1.46 ERA in 12.1 IP. His 12 strikeouts tied for the league lead. He became the fourth Trenton player to win a weekly honor this season, following Player of Week awards for Yadil Mujica (4/23-4/29) and Ronnier Mustelier (4/30-5/6) and Zoilo Almonte (6/11-6/17). MORE PLAYER LOSSES: With reliever Ricky Orta going on the shelf Monday, the Thunder have now had 24 in-season DL stints between a total of 19 different players. 20 of the 36 players on Trenton s current roster, including seven of the nine in the opening day line-up, have gone to the DL at some point. 14 of the team s 18 current position players have spent time on the DL in 2012, most recently Abraham Almonte going on last week. LATE-GAME HEADACHES: Trenton has lost four games on a walk-off hit in the past 2 1/2 weeks (including two of the last four games). Six of the team s 13 losses in June came with the opposing team scoring the winning run in its final at-bat. The Thunder bullpen converted only three of nine save opportunities in June (and the pen is 0-for-1 in save opportunities thus far in July). THIS AND THAT: The Thunder have gone 7-0 in seven-inning contests, and are 9-0 in games played as part of a doubleheader (including rain-suspended contests). Trenton is now in one-run games, but have dropped four straight (including three on the current trip). They are against RHP opposing starters, but only against LHP starters (including 2-5 against LHP starters in the last eight days). HEY NOW : Six Thunder players have been named to the Eastern Division All-Star roster, although three are currently injured. Outfielders Cody Johnson (injured) and Abraham Almonte (injured), infielder Kevin Mahoney (injured) and pitchers Brett Marshall and Kelvin Perez were selected for the July 11 th contest in Reading. OF Melky Mesa was added to the team as an injury replacement on Saturday. ARMS RETURNING: Last week pitchers Craig Heyer and Brett Marshall returned from the DL. Heyer now joins the bullpen. Trenton still has three starers (Aribso, Stoneburner and Romanski) currently out of action. 40-MAN MADNESS: After the addition of pitcher Dellin Betances, the Thunder's roster now includes four players currently on the Yankees 40-man. Trenton also has OFs Zoilo Almonte and Melky Mesa and INF David Adams. The 40-man roster is composed of all those in an organization who are signed to a big-league contract. POWER PACKED : Trenton by far and away leads the EL in home runs, as the squad has hit 91 in the first 80 games of the season. The next closest team (Bowie) has 63. The Thunder have hit multiple homers in an inning 13 times, most recently in the fifth inning on June 23 rd (Z Almonte, Mesa & Murton). The team has hit back-toback HRs five times (4/7 (3 straight), 5/3, 5/5, 5/12, 6/23 (3 straight)). On 4/7 vs. New Hampshire, Trenton set a new franchise record with seven home runs in one game.
