Erie, PA (May 30, 2026) – The Chesapeake Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, fell to the Erie SeaWolves, the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, by a 4-0 final on Saturday night.

Chesapeake (20-29) threatened early with four hits in the game’s opening three frames. However, the Baysox were unable to break through against SeaWolves right-handed starter Sean Hunley through his four and one-third frames.

Left-handed starter Luis De León took the ball for Chesapeake on Saturday night. The southpaw loaded the bases in the second with a pair of walks and a hit. With one out, Erie’s Bennett Lee hit a soft groundout to bring home the game’s opening run.

The only other damage allowed by De León came on an unearned run in the fifth. Seth Stephenson hit a soft dribbler to third, where a pair of wild throws allowed Stephenson to make it all the way around the diamond on the play for the second SeaWolves’ run. De León (L, 1-4) went four and one-third innings on Saturday for the Baysox, striking out a season-high matching six batters.

Erie’s final two runs came on a sixth-inning homer from Izaac Pacheco. The Baysox were held in check by the Erie bullpen. Following the starter Hunley, right-hander Tyler Owens (W, 3-0) recorded the next five outs for the SeaWolves. Chesapeake threatened in the seventh by loading the bases on two walks and a hit by pitch, but Aron Estrada flew out to center field to end the Baysox threat.

Chesapeake has another shot to take the six-game series in Erie on Sunday afternoon. Right-hander Juaron Watts-Brown (0-2, 7.94 ERA) takes the hill for the Baysox against SeaWolves left-hander Joe Miller (2-1, 3.89 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 1:35 pm from UPMC Park.

The next Baysox homestand begins on Tuesday, June 2, when Chesapeake opens a six-game series with the Akron RubberDucks, the Double-A affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians.
