The top three teams all lost on Tuesday and Lansing were behind 3-2 headed to the ninth inning. The Lugnuts loaded the bases for Danny Jansen who cleared them. Jesus Tinoco did not get the win but he held Bowling Green hitless for five innings. Daniel Norris was decent but not great, he took the loss for Buffalo and had just one three up, three down inning. New Hampshire played a slugfest, scored ten runs, and lost. The Jays lost a one run game, the Dunedin Jays that is.
