Last modified: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 2:20 AM EDT Another no-decision for Bowden BY PETER GOBIS SUN CHRONICLE STAFF PAWTUCKET - And on his third pitch to Justin Maxwell, just the second batter that he faced in the first inning, Michael Bowden watched the baseball soar out of McCoy Stadium Monday, a solo home run to left field. And on the third pitch to Corey Patterson, the very next batter that the prized right-handed pitcher faced, he watched the ball soar out of the park again, another solo homer, this time to right field. Over the past nine outings on the pitching mound for the PawSox, Bowden has just one win. Fortunately or unfortunately, Bowden has five no-decisions over that span, having left McCoy with the game tied at 4-4 Monday after just 4.2 innings and 87 pitches of work against the Syracuse Chiefs. Bowden was long out of uniform when the PawSox went into extra innings for the ninth time this season, being tied at 5-5 through 12 innings of play. Bowden has worked less than five innings in five of his last nine outings, during which time he has struck out 31 and walked just 14 - not bad, but not the desired result in terms of wins. Bowden allowed eight hits over 4.2 innings. And while his fastball was registering in the low-90's on the radar gun, he struck out just three. He has allowed a PawSox-high nine home runs. After yielding back-to-back homers in the first inning, Bowden yielded another pair of runs to Syracuse on three hits in the fifth inning - that erasing a two-run lead taken by the PawSox, who had scored three unearned runs in a wacky third inning on two hits and three Syracuse errors. The PawSox erased a two-run deficit in that frame as both Gil Velasquez and Angel Chavez reached base on singles and their drives then being misplayed by the Chiefs. Freddy Guzman also reached base on an error and scored the fourth run on Chris Carter's sacrifice flyball. Guzman put the PawSox on the scoreboard in the first inning via a single, scampering to third on an errant pickoff and scoring on a Jeff Bailey sacrifice flyball. The 22-year old Bowden entered the game with a 1-3 record in his previous seven starts with a 6.23 ERA. FOUL BALLS - Syracuse's 6-foot-6 RHP J.D. Martin (8-2) had his sixth straight outing in allowing just one earned run. The former Cleveland first round draft pick allowed four hits and not a walk over six innings, striking out six Mark Wagner, the highly-touted 25-year old catcher summoned from Portland, threw out a would-be base-stealer on his first attempt and another in the 10th inning, while giving up five SB's. He had thrown out 62 percent of base thieves this season at AA, 18 of 29. "It's a learning process," said Wagner of his first AAA game. "You make adjustments." He went 0-for-5 at the plate with two K's Enrique Gonzalez (7-6) pitches for the PawSox in tonight's 7 p.m. series finale After a day off Wednesday, the PawSox have 6 p.m. games Thursday and Friday against Scranton, followed by fireworks A major power-outage by the PawSox, who have hit just 47 HR's through 75 games this season, 96 over that same stretch last year OF Jonathan VanEvery's season may be over after MCL surgery, which required "a little bit more," said PawSox manager Ron Johnson.
