NOTES
Ten hits and six runs for Buffalo. The hot hitting Riley Tirotta had a double and walked twice. He played third base and made two errors. Addison Barger had two hits. Orelvis Martinez had two hits and after a dry spell in May the ball has started to drop in for him again. Phil Clarke, new to AAA, was 2-4 with a walk.
Andrew Bash went 5.1 innings and he shut LHV down on two hits. Bash has been pitching well for Buffalo. He doesn't pitch a lot of innings, about 4 innings per start, and usually holds the opposition to one or two runs. Eric Swanson had a tough day. He gave up a home run then walked a couple. Mike Mayers followed and gave up a home run meaning Swanson had three earned runs on his record.
NH had just six hits, Alan Roden and Josh Kasevich were held off the bases. Andres Sosa homered for the only run.
Trenton Wallace started and he was taken deep twice leading to three runs in 4.1 innings. Eric Pardinho pitched the last inning, there was one hit off him.
Three home runs propelled Vancouver to the win. Estiven Machado hit a three run home run in the second inning, one of his two hits in the game. Jamari Baylor hit a solo shot in the sixth.
