Buffalo Bisons

Danny Jansen had a hit and a walk. Gregorio Petit had the lone extra-base hit and Jon Berti had a single. Christian Lopes, Dwight Smith Jr. and Teoscar Hernandez heard ball four once.

Dunedin Blue Jays

Bo Bichette had a hit and a stolen base. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had the night off.

Tayler Saucedo was slapped around for four runs in 2-2/3 innings and Daniel Lietz had a tough time of it by allowing three runs in two-thirds of an inning on two hits, two walks and two hit by pitches.

Osman Gutierrez gave up three runs over six frames on seven hits (including a home run) while walking and striking out three. Denis Diaz overcame a hit and two walks with one strikeout over two scoreless innings. Neither Gutierrez or Diaz could shut down the running game as they allowed six stolen bases between them.
