The Curve (69-71, 33-39) close their 21st season with a record of 69-71 after being swept in four games by the Senators (76-63, 34-35), who finished 76-63 and will begin their playoff series against Bowie on Wednesday. Altoona ends with their first losing season since 2014.
Brady (Loss, 5-13) coasted through the first five innings and faced one over the minimum due to a two-out walk in the fourth to end a streak of 11 straight hitters retired to start the game. He walked one more to start the fifth and rolled an inning-ending double play two hitters later. He picked up his third and fourth strikeouts to start the sixth inning but fell behind Taylor in the count, 3-1, before the Senators outfielder drove his ninth homer over the right field wall.
Brady finished the day after six innings and allowed just two runs over his last 22 innings of the season.
