After starting with two losses the Bisons won a game. They played two on Sunday so one of the losses was game one. The pitchers were facing a fairly good Yankee lineup featuring Jason Dominguez, Oswaldo Cabrera, prospect Spencer Jones, Paul De Jong and a couple of catchers familiar to Buffalo fans, Payton Henry and Ali Sanchez.

NOTES
Buffalo were rained out on Saturday and Monday will be a regularly scheduled off day so I expected every non starting pitcher to get into the two games on Sunday. The Bisons used six pitchers in game one and three in game two. Two pitchers have not yet appeared, CJ Van Eyk and Josh Fleming. I assume they will be starting on Tuesday and Wednesday in Omaha.
Chad Dallas started his first game in a year and a half and it went well. He went three innings, three hits, one run and five K's. Jesse Hahn was charged with two runs in one inning of work. The extra runner was on second starting in the eighth inning. Chase Lee prevented him from scoring in the eighth but did let in a run in the ninth. Jorge Alcala gave up a double to the first hitter he faced in the tenth and that was the winning run.
Jon Clase had a sac fly to score the first Bisons run in the third. Then in the fifth Clase's ground ball got by the first baseman to score two more. Carlos Mendoza singled twice and walked. Josh Kasevich singled, walked and scored two runs.
Austin Voth started game two. The 33 year old has thrown 360 major league innings, mostly for Washington and 860 minor league innings. Yankee slugger Spencer Jones took him deep in the first inning and he gave up another solo home run in the second. He went three innings. Devereaux Harrison followed with three innings also, he was charged with one run. Michael Plassmeyer finished up.
Clase once again was the sparkplug. In the third inning he singled, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on another wild one. Buffalo used four singles, four walks, and a couple of Yankee errors to score six runs in the fourth inning and that saw them home.
Clase was 2-3 with a walk. CJ Stubbs had two hits. Riley Tirotta drove in two runs. Kasevich was 1-3 and is hitting .333 in the small sample. RJ Schreck walked twice but it still hitless.
