Further encouragement from Sean Reid-Foley and some of our advanced hitting prospects. Vancouver started their season with a bit of a thud and are waiting on Griffin Conine to give their roster some prospect flair.

Buffalo Bisons

Buffalo won Friday, lost Saturday, and won again on Sunday. Sean Reid-Foley was excellent in seven and a third innings of work on Friday. He struck out seven and picked up the win. Rowdy Tellez homered as part of a two-hit day in Saturday’s loss. Anthony Alford went deep himself on Sunday and Steve Pearce picked up two hits in Sunday’s win. The Bisons are 33-29 on the season.

New Hampshire Fisher Cats

New Hampshire was on the wrong side of a 10-1 game Friday, lost again Saturday 9-5, but salvaged the weekend with a 9-1 win Sunday. Friday’s shellacking featured two hits and a stolen base from Jonathan Davis. Cavan Biggio hit his fourteenth homerun in Saturday’s loss while Bo Bichette tallied two hits. Bichette committed his fourteenth error of the season as well. Biggio homered again on Sunday and Jon Harris pitched six innings of one-run baseball. The Fisher Cats are 40-28.

Dunedin Blue Jays

No games this weekend for Dunedin as it was the Florida State League All Star Game. Travis Bergen, Riley Adams, and Angel Perdomo represented the team. Adams doubled and Perdomo pitched a scoreless inning. Dunedin will return to action today a 27-37 ball club.

Lansing Lugnuts

Lansing won all three this weekend. Friday’s notable performers included five shutout innings from Maximo Castillo and four hits from Kevin Vicuna. Saturday saw two hits apiece from Ryan Noda, Ryan Gold, and Reggie Pruitt. Sunday’s sweep saw Noda homer as part of a three-hit day and Yeltsin Gudino double twice. The Lugnuts are 43-27 on the season and have already clinched a playoff berth.

Vancouver Canadians

Vancouver opened their season with two straight losses and a Sunday win. Randy Pondler pitched five innings of two-run baseball on Friday. On Saturday, Jose Espada got hit around in three innings of work. The bats came alive on Sunday as the Canadians banged out thirteen hits with Mc Gregory Contreras collecting the first two homeruns on the season for the Canadians. The Canadians are 1-2 to start off.

DSL Blue Jays

Our Dominican affiliate split their Friday-Saturday games. Miguel Hiraldo played Friday, but not Saturday. Hiraldo collected his tenth RBI on the season and third error. The DSL affiliate is playing a hair above .500 at 7-6.
