NOTES
Trenton Wallace had some issues with his command on Thursday. He walked six hitters in 4.2 innings. Three of the walks came in the fifth inning along with two hits. That led to three runs. The Bisons benefitted from walks too, Joey Votto walked to score Buffalo's first run. Alan Roden walked in the fifth and scored when Rafael Lantigua doubled. Jimmy Burnette blew up in the eighth conceding five runs.
Raffy Lantigua had two hits, Josh Kasevich doubled to keep his AAA average at .324. The Bisons had an unusual defensive alignment. Kasevich played third base, Palmegiani played left field and Roden played centre.
Michael Dominguez went on the development list on July 9th, now five weeks later he is back starting for the Fisher Cats. He just went three innings, no runs on two hits and one walk, no strikeouts. Abdiel Mendoza threw three shutout innings, Nick Fraze gave up four runs but Johnathan Lavallee got the last four outs, three by strikeout.
RJ Schreck homered to get the Cats on the board. He added a single. Charles McAdoo went 2-2 with an RBI and two walks. Rainer Nunez, Alex De Jesus and Yohendrick Pinango each had a hit and drove in a run.
Connor O'Halloran had plenty of traffic in his start for Vancouver. In four plus innings he had nine hits, two walks and a hit batter. He was charged with seven runs. Three relievers didn't fare much better.
Six hits for the C's. Jay Harry and Jevon Ward had two each.
Trailing 4-1 in the seventh Dunedin scored one run in the seventh, three in the eighth and one in the ninth to win 6-5. The big hit came from Sean Keys who hit his first pro home run, a two run shot in the eighth. Keys also singled in the winning run in the ninth. Arjun Nimmala and Jaden Rudd had doubles.
Daniel Guerra made his third start for Dunedin. Guerra had one bad inning, two hits and a walk set it up for a grand slam. Those three hits were the only hits he conceded in six innings. He struck out five. JJ Sanchez pitched the last three innings and struck out six.
