Sea Dogs ace Michael Bowden is done with his start Sunday at Hadlock Field.

Will he be back?

Bowden did not have his best stuff going Sunday (5 2/3 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 6 K). He retired the first seven batters, but then left some balls up. He bulldogged his way through some jams.

Bowden's numbers may have been better, until Edwar Gonzalez's two-run homer in the sixth.

Ben Cherington, Red Sox VP/Player Personnel, is in attendance. GM Theo Epstein has already watched Bowden pitch here.

Could that mean it's time for Bowden to go up to Triple-A?

If a move is made after the game, I'll let you know.

Meanwhile, Daniel Bard has entered in relief. First pitch: 98 m.p.h.

Tune in later.
