(Bowie, MD) - The Senators and Baysox meet for Game 4 of their series tonight from Prince George’s Stadium. The Sens are looking for their first three game winning streak in quite some time. Last night Alex Clemmey threw his best performance in a couple weeks getting his third win of the season. Max Romero Jr had a huge night driving in 3 runs pacing the Sens to an easy 5-1 win.
The Sens hand the ball to Isaac Lyon fresh off of his best outing of the season against Erie. The Sens are hopeful Lyon can come up with a similar outing again this week in his sixth start with the Sens.

Key Storylines/what to watch
The main story to watch for the Senators in tonight’s game four is Issac Lyon. Lyon is coming into his sixth start with the Senators fresh off of his best start of the season. Last Thursday night Lyon dominated the Erie lineup.
Watching to see where Max Romero Jr. goes from here. The last time Max had a big game it lead to a prolonged period of good contact, power and his average on an upward trajectory. Max broke out of his 2-20 slump from the Erie series in a big way for the Sens last night against Bowie. Max provided all the offense that the visitors would need to get back in the win column for the second consecutive evening.
Washington Nationals Prospects to watch
Issac Lyon- Can the RHP make it two positive starts in a row?
Devin Fitz-Gerald- Can Fitz-Gerald work his way out of his current slump. Devin’s average is down to .109. He’s currently 1-11 in the series against the Baysox after going 2-19 in the Erie series last week. He’s still learning the ropes of AA but you have to think the talented 20 year old will start to turn it on soon.
