Blue Jays from Away

The Dunedin Blue Jays' game was washed out, but the Lansing Lugnuts and Buffalo Bisons returned to the win column to give the Toronto Blue Jays' minor leaguers a 2-1 day.

Buffalo Bisons 3, Gwinnett Braves 4

The Buffalo Bisons' two-run outburst in the top of the seventh inning wasn't enough as they fell to the Gwinnett Braves 4-3. The Bisons out-hit the Braves eight to five but only had the one run to show for it. Roemon Fields continues his torrid hitting in Buffalo, going 2/4 with a double, a walk, two runs and a stolen base but he also made an error. Raffy Lopez also continues to hit, going 2/4 with two RBI. Mike Ohlman made his return to the Buffalo lineup with a double.

Luis Santos was on the mound and allowed four runs on three hits (including a three-run home run) and three walks with six strikeouts over five innings. John Stilson threw two scoreless innings and Chad Girodo finished with a scoreless eighth.
