With just three games on the minor league schedule, the Blue Jays’ walk-off win over the Seattle Mariners was the only win in the organization on Mothers’ Day.

 

Buffalo Bisons 2, Lehigh Valley IronPigs 7

 

Thanks to their rained-out game on Saturday, the Buffalo Bisons played a double header against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs on Mothers’ Day Sunday, dropping the first one by a 7-2 score. Buffalo’s bats remained silent until the seventh when they scored their two runs getting RBIs from Ian Parmley and Shane Opitz who had two of the Bisons’ five hits, going 2/3.

Mat Latos tossed 4 2/3 innings, giving up all seven Lehigh Valley runs on eight hits (including two home runs) and two walks with four strikeouts. Matt Dermody finished up, throwing 1 1/3 innings with a strikeout.

Player of the Game: Shane Opitz

Roster Notes: With Aaron Sanchez getting activated from the DL in Toronto, Leonel Campos was sent back to Buffalo.

The second game of the double header was a lower scoring affair but the Buffalo Bisons lost Game 2 as well with John Stilson allowing a run on three hits in the fifth inning to take the 1-0 loss. Luis Santos was the starter and he threw four innings of scoreless ball, giving up just two hits and a walk with three strikeouts. Murphy Smith came on for the sixth inning, walking one.

The Bisons only had four hits in the second game, getting a double from Alex Monsalve and two singles from Roemon Fields who added a stolen base.

Curve to close out their series. Shane Dawson took to the mound, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks with three strikeouts in five innings before Justin Shafer allowed the Curve’s sixth run in the sixth inning. Tim Mayza followed that with a scoreless seventh, walking one and striking out two while Chris Rowley dropped his season’s ERA to just 1.59 thanks to a perfect eighth.

Anthony Alford hit his third home run of the season, a solo shot in the third inning for the Fisher Cats. Richard Urena also showed some signs of life, going 2/5 with a double and a run while Harold Ramirez drove in two runs, going 1/4. Tim Lopes was 1/3 with a walk and a sacrifice fly.
