Erie SeaWolves at Altoona Curve

ALTOONA, Pa. (Interstat) — Sunday’s game at Peoples Natural Gas Field closes a six-game series between the Erie SeaWolves and Altoona Curve, with the season series tied 5-5.

Erie (73-52) has won the last two meetings, including an 8-3 victory Saturday, after dropping three straight. Altoona (53-71) had won three consecutive games before losing the past two. Sunday’s winner will take the season series.

Erie’s probable pitchers are Carlos Peña (6-5) and Matt Ager (7-3). Altoona’s starter has not been announced. The forecast calls for clear skies and 76 degrees at game time.

Erie right-hander Joe Miller is a player to watch after his start Saturday: He allowed three earned runs on four hits and struck out five over five innings in the SeaWolves’ 8-3 win. In his past four appearances, Miller has struck out 17 in 16 1/3 innings.

For Altoona, reliever Landon Tomkins worked 2 1/3 innings Saturday and allowed one earned run on two hits with one strikeout. In two appearances against Erie this week, Tomkins gave up four earned runs in 3 1/3 innings.

The SeaWolves have been the more productive club recently. Erie is 6-4 in its last 10 games, while Altoona is 4-6. The Curve scored 22 runs in the first three games of this series, but Erie’s pitching has held Altoona to seven runs over the last two games.

Interstat’s game simulator projects Erie to win 5-4, and its ELO system gives the SeaWolves a 63.9 percent probability of victory.

After Sunday, Erie returns home for a six-game homestand against Somerset. Altoona travels to Harrisburg for six games.
