NOTES
Paxton Schultz had been pitching well for Buffalo but he was hit in this game, five runs allowed in 5.1 innings. Luis quinones was worse.
A couple of power-shy guys homered, Otto Lopez hit his second of the season and Spencer Horwitz his third. Cam Eden had two hits. He has had six multi hit games in the seven games he has played in July.
New Hampshire had a 6-0 lead heading to the bottom of the eighth. Troy Watson and Connor Cooke combined to give up six runs and tie the game. That sent the game to the tenth where pitcher Juan Nunez throw away a bunt which le the winning run score. It truly wa sa bullpen blown game.
Damiano Palmegiani hit his tenth home run, Will Robertson his ninth. Orelvis hasn't played in a couple of days but hasn't gone on the IL.
Vancouver scored twice in the top of the ninth to get their win. Lyle Lin homered with one out before Hillsboro walked in a second run. Earlier Devonte Brown had homered for the second night in a row.
Three pitchers went three innings each. The winning pitcher was Eric Pardinho who threw the last three and only conceded one run.
It was a bullpen game in Dunedin and that didn't go too well. Four of the five pitchers used by the Jays gave up runs including Irv Carter coming out of the bullpen. The Jays did have 12 hits but were outhomered 3-0.
