The Buffalo Bisons (32-22) scored three runs for the second consecutive game, but this time it wasn't enough as the Rochester Red Wings beat them 4-3.
Breyvic Valera had a solid game, going 2-for-4 with a double and two runs while Riley Adams drove in three with a 1-for-4 effort. Tyler White was 1-for-3 with a a walk, as was Alejandro Kirk. Richard Urena was 1-for-4 and so was Nash Knight who also added a run.
Zach Logue started on the mound, allowing four runs on five hits (one HR) with a walk and three strikeouts in three innings. The bullpen was outstanding as five pitchers combined to throw the remaining five scoreless innings. Casey Lawrence (1 IP, 1 H, 1 K), Joel Payamps (1 IP), Ryan Borucki (1 IP, 1 K), Dany Jimenez (1 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 1 K) and Travis Bergen (1 IP, 1 H) finished it out.
