Only two affiliates played and between them they they gave up 23 runs. The Bisons had to face Paul Skenes, a tough day for the hitters. Dunedin used lots of pitchers who were scored on a lot. New Hampshire and Vancouver were rained out.
Five Buffalo hitters went deep as they continue to hit well and pick up wins. Vancouver scored 12 runs in one inning en route to a win. One Dunedin hitter went deep twice, each time giving the Jays the lead. Enmanuel Bonilla had four hits as the FCL Jays started their season with a win. New Hampshire lost in a game that was a double no hitter through six innings.
Buffalo were missing a few hitters but nevertheless they scored ten runs with fifteen hits. They had a nice win, as did Vancouver who also had a big hitting game. Dunedin won as Fernando Perez shut down Tampa. New Hampshire came up a run short.

After a less than optimal homestand, a road trip is called for. Two fourth-place teams meet for three games in the District.
Chad Dallas and Adam Macko had rough starts. Buffalo couldn't recover but New Hampshire did thanks to seven hitters having a multi hit game. Vancouver lost their game in the bottom of the ninth while Dunedin were dominated by Tampa.

Indianapolis 14 Buffalo 5
New Hampshire 7 Somerset 0
Vancouver 5 Tri-City 0
Tampa 5 Dunedin 4
Buffalo and New Hampshire lost one-run games. Vancouver and Dunedin were the winners on a Splitsville Tuesday.
The Royals may actually be pretty good this season. It doesn't happen very often, and I know it's still early, but so far- so pretty good.
Buffalo's game was rain shortened but they won 2-0. New Hampshire had just two hits but it was enough for a 2-1 win. Dunedin lost but Victor Arias again was the bright spot. Vancouver continue to be rained out, it must be monsoon season in BC.
Buffalo were the only winners on Saturday. Four pitchers shutout Iowa with Andrew Bash, the starter, going five innings. New Hampshire were down 9-0 before they came to bat and Dunedin found hitting to be hard. Vancouver continued to be rained out.
Three games, three losses. Two of the losses were in the tenth inning where errors helped the affiliates lose. Buffalo resorted to a position player pitching. Fernando Perez and Adam Macko pitched well.

Three games with the - do I need to actually check and be sure? I doubt it. - first place Los Angeles Dodgers.
Buffalo won both ends of a doubleheader. New Hampshire and Dunedin lost, Vancouver were rained out. The affiliates had a strong start to the season and the first week or so produced excellent results. However the three lower teams have fallen off and have lost their winning records. Buffalo, despite losing some pitching to the big club and the IL, and despite Alek Manoah not helping, do have a winning record and are hanging in well. Spencer Horwitz and Orelvis are leading the way and Orelvis did hit his seventh home run. However its not all smooth sailing for him as discussed below.
