In Buffalo's game one Eric Lauer gave up two runs in five innings, his best start of the year. Dillon Tate struck out two but was taken deep for a solo home run. Jon Clase had two hits in game one.
In game two Christian Bethancourt and Rainer Nunez homered. It was a bullpen game and three of the five pitchers were scored upon. Eric Pardinho was not one of them, he struck out three in his inning but did allow a hit and a walk.
Jace Bohrofen got off to a low start, he was hitting .143 a week ago. He went deep twice on Friday and now has four home runs in his last four days. He is 7 for 14 over those four games and his average is now up to .256. Josh Rivera also homered his first of the season.
Ryan Jennings gave up two runs on a home run, his second not so good appearance in a row.
