NOTES
CJ Van Eyk just gave up a home run to former Bisons Peyton Henry through four innings. But LHV got to him in the fifth, five hits and a walk led to six more runs and the Bisons trailed 7-1. And that was the ballgame.
Buffalo did score three runs, Josh Rivera scored two of them with his three hits.
New Hampshire's issue again was lack of hitting, just four hits for the Cats. Jackson Hornung continued his two true outcomes tour, one hit, three K's.
Ryan Watson did OK, he was charged with two runs over six innings.
Tri-City scored two runs off Yondrei Rojas in the top of the ninth to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead. A lead that stuck. Chris McElvain started and went four shutout innings.
Carter Cunningham led the offense with a home run and a single, he drove in both C's runs. Arjun Nimmala was 0-4 with a walk. Lots of people have been wondering when Nimmala will be promoted to AA. Nigel on here has said not so fast and when you look at the numbers Nimmala is hitting .179 in June with a .572 OPS. Nimmala is striking out a bit more than April and May but he is still taking a walk, his ability to make good contact has dropped. I assume that teams have been pitching him differently after his hot start. Remember in the Northwest League there are fewer teams so you see the opposition a lot more than you do in the other leagues.
In the first Dunedin game Kendry Rojas just dominated Bradenton, five innings, NO hits, nine K's. Lizandro Rodriguez and Edward Duran homered.
Eliander Alcalde started game two and he conceded one run in four innings with six K's. The bullpen gave up four more. The D Jays had just five hits.
