The Sea Dogs started their week in exciting fashion, coming from behind to win the game with a thrilling ninth-inning rally.

Playing in a game for the first time this season as he begins a rehab assignment with Portland, Romy Gonzalez blasted a home run over the Maine Monster in the third inning. Gonzalez started at second base and was 1 for 2 with a walk. Nate Baez was 1 for 4 with a solo home run.
