Blue Jays from Away

With just four games on the go, the Toronto Blue Jays' minor leaguers went 2-2 on Monday.

Buffalo Bisons 0, Lehigh Valley IronPigs 2

A two-run home run in the top of the first inning was all the scoring that Thomas Pannone and the  triple-A Buffalo Bisons allowed but it was all the Lehigh Valley IronPigs needed in a 2-0 victory.

Pannone finished strongly, allowing just two hits in 6 2/3 innings, walking three and striking out six to take his third loss of the season. Danny Barnes allowed one hit and struck out three in 1 1/3 innings and Jose Fernandez finished the game, striking out two in the ninth.

Danny Jansen had two of the Bisons' five hits with Anthony Alford adding a double and Jonathan Davis and Reese McGuire adding singles.
