The Portland Sea Dogs got a stellar performance from pitcher Bert Blyleven, who handcuffed the Birmingham offense en route to a win, 7-1, at Riverwalk Stadium. The victory gives Portland a record of 69-54.

Blyleven, who dominated for Portland, earned the victory to move to 9-9. He was in control the whole game, scattering 3 hits over 8.2 innings, while striking out 7. Birmingham batters could never bunch up enough hits to produce a rally.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Blyleven said after the game.
