NOTES
Buffalo scored five runs in the first inning. The big hit was a grand slam by Riley Tirotta. That was good because the Bisons had only five hits in the game. Nathan Lukes and Luis De Los Santos each had two hits.
Jake Bloss started and went three innings. He had some command issues. He used 65 pitches, 35 strikes and 30 balls. He walked three. He also struck out three. That's three starts for Buffalo now and Bloss is being kept on a short leash. If he does get called up by the Jays he might be only allowed to throw 60-70 pitches. Andrew Bash followed and also threw three innings. He needed 39 pitches versus Bloss's 65.
RJ Schreck homered leading off for the Fisher Cats in the first inning. The Cats added six runs in the second inning with a four player cycle. Schreck singled to drive in two runs and make it 3-0. He was followed by Ryan McCarty who doubled in Schreck. Next up Charles McAdoo tripled to make it 5-0. Then Rainer Nunez homered, 7-0. Schreck, McCarty and Nunez each finished with two hits.
Lazaro Estrada started and went six innings. The only run he allowed was unearned. He struck out eight with no walks.
Vancouver scored two runs in their first inning, Peyton Williams with the two run home run. With the game tied in the eighth inning, Jay Harry doubled to score two runs and deliver the win for the C's. Harry had earlier singled in a run giving him three RBI in the game. Jackson Hornung also had two hits. Jace Bohrofen had the night off.
Connor O'Halloran started and went five inning. He gave up three runs, two earned and struck out six.
Dunedin scored four runs in their first inning. Aaron Parker and Manuel Beltre each hit a two run home run in the first inning. Eddie Micheletti doubled in a run in the second inning. The Jays added eight more runs, but no more home runs. Beltre had the biggest game, a single, triple and home run with six RBI. Micheletti, Parker and Arjun Nimmala had two hits each.
Daniel Guerra made his fourth start for Dunedin and it was a good one. Five shutout innings with five K's. Guerra had 11 whiffs, eight on his fastball which topped out at 96 mph.
