NOTES
Buffalo scored eight runs with eight hits but six of the hits were extra base hits. Daz Cameron and CJ Stubbs homered. Cameron added a double and had four RBI in the game. Josh Kasevich, back from temporary leave, singled and doubled for his usual two hits. Sean Keys doubled. He has had a tough time since returning from Toronto. This is not unusual for a rookie. Coming into todays game we was four for 30, all singles, since his stint in the big leagues.
The Bisons must be short of pitching. They hauled Jack Nedrow up from Vancouver to start and then used five relievers to back him up. Nedrow did OK, three runs allowed in 3.2 innings.
Jackson Wentworth had one of his best starts of the season Sunday with six shutout innings. Hartford had five hits and one walk. Wentworth only struck out two but had a 10-1 GB to FB performance. TJ Brock had a clean inning which was welcome after his first appearance which was forgettable.
Victor Arias drove in the first four NH runs. He singled in a run in the first inning then hit a three run home run in the third. In the eighth Dub Gleed doubled in Arias and Nimmala. Matthieu Vallee, from Quebec, had three hits and his AA career is off to a hot start.
14-0 for Vancouver, big day for hitters and pitchers. Johnny King had a very good start, five shutout innings, seven K's, three hits, three walks.
The C's hit three home runs from Jake Casey, Alexis Hernandez and Ryan Sprock. Sprock added two doubles, Hernandez and Casey added one double each. Tucker Toman had one double and walked four times.
Hernandez was on the IL for two months. Since he came back in July he has been on a tear, going 18-50, .360 average, with three home runs and four doubles.
