Superman has kryptonite. The Bisons have the RailRiders.

 

Buffalo has won every one of its games since June 20th against opponents other than Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but for the fifth time in as many games against the IL's best, the Herd fell. This time, by a score of 10-0 at PNC Field on Wednesday.

 

Making his fifth career start at the Triple-A level, John Anderson appeared overmatched in his second start against the league's top scoring team. The 27-year-old gave up a run in the first inning and again in the second before the Riders plated five more to chase the lefty with only one out in the third inning.

 

Anderson was in trouble from the get-go but managed to keep it a two-run contest by stranding five runners over the first two frames. However, back-to-back blasts from Tyler Austin and Cesar Puello to start the third inning began to blow the game open.

 

Jake Cave was then hit by a pitch and Jonathan Diaz was issued a one-out free pass before Ben Gamel chopped a single through the right side of the infield to make it 5-0. The next batter, Donovan Solano, banged a double to the wall to bring home both runners, forcing Gary Allenson to go to his relief staff.

 

Buffalo's bullpen went to work the rest of the way and were charged with three runs on eight hits.

 

Bobby Korecky matched his longest outing of the year, hurling 3.2 innings of two-run ball. Chad Girodo worked a scoreless seventh to drop his ERA to 1.59 this season. The Riders reached their final tally on three consecutive two-out singles as Dustin Antolin was tagged with the 10th run.

 

Coming out of the opposing dugout to make his fourth start with the RailRiders was Dietrich Enns. The 19th round pick of the Yankees in 2012 has quietly been making a name for himself as a prospect while on his recent stint with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

 

Enns entered Wednesday's action with a 0.96 ERA and lowered it to 0.70, shutting out the Bisons with five strikeouts across seven innings of two-hit work. The 25-year-old faced one over the minimum through five and a third, before Domonic Brown broke the no-hit bid with a line-drive single.

 

The Herd has been outscored 28-5 by the RailRiders over their last five meetings.

 

BISONS NOTES:

Earlier in the day, Bo Schultz was recalled to the Blue Jays...Tony Sanchez drew a walk in the fifth to extend his on-base streak to 21 games…The 17 hits allowed by Buffalo's pitching staff is the most this season…The Herd was shutout for the first time since a 5-0 loss on June 13th to Durham and falls to 10-7 in shutout games…Wednesday's game was the most lopsided loss by the Bisons since a 12-2 defeat at the hands of the Riders at PNC Field on September 3rd of last season.

Manchester, NH - Taylor Cole allowed one run in eight innings on Wednesday night, leading the New Hampshire Fisher Cats to a 6-1 win over the Portland Sea Dogs at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.

 

Cole (1-2) recorded the longest outing by a New Hampshire starter this season, allowing only four hits. He did not walk a batter and struck out eight. Wil Browning pitched a perfect ninth as the Fisher Cats won for the third straight time in the series.

 

The Fisher Cats (39-47) hit the board in the bottom of the first inning. Roemon Fields singled and moved to second on an errant pick off throw. He advanced to third on a groundout, scoring on a double by Derrick Loveless for a 1-0 lead.

 

In the bottom of the second inning, Ian Parmley led off with a walk and scored on a double by Jorge Flores. Flores made it 3-0, scoring on a single by Christian Lopes.

 

Portland's Cody Decker homered in the top of the fourth inning, his fourth of the season, to cut the lead to 3-1.

 

The lead grew to 5-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning. Flores delivered a run scoring single and another run scored when Portland tried to pick off Flores at first, but Ian Parmley scored ahead of the tag. Emilio Guerrero's sacrifice fly in the eighth inning gave New Hampshire its final run.

 

Portland starter Kevin McAvoy (5-4) worked the first six innings, allowing five runs on eight hits.

 

The Fisher Cats and Sea Dogs conclude the series on Thursday night at 7:05 p.m. at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. Toronto top prospect Conner Greene (1-0) makes his first home start of the season for New Hampshire as his club looks for a sweep. An Atlas Fireworks Show will follow the game at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. Bring your new or lightly used items to donate to Goodwill, presented by Goodwill Industries of Northern New England.

LANSING, Mich. - Shane Mardirosian's fielder's choice scored Shed Long in the ninth inning, giving the Dayton Dragons (4-9, 25-58) a 4-3 victory over the Lansing Lugnuts (9-5, 45-39) on Wednesday night at Cooley Law School Stadium, the Dragons' first win in nine meetings with the Lugnuts.

 

The result also ended Lansing's season high eight-game home winning streak.

 

Long led off the ninth against Josh DeGraaf (Loss, 4-5) with a single to right field. Kevin Franklin, replacing the ejected James Vasquez, singled Long to second, and both were moved up a base by a Chris Okey sacrifice bunt.

 

With the Lugnuts' infield drawn in, Mardirosian's grounder was gloved by first baseman Juan Kelly, but Long scored ahead of the throw home.

 

Dayton reliever Jesus Reyes (Win, 4-1) pitched three scoreless innings of relief, striking out four. Sarkis Ohanian struck out the side in the ninth for his fifth save.

 

Before the ninth inning, the story of the game was sloppiness.

 

Long, who scored the game-winning run, committed the first of three errors in the first inning, leading to two Lansing unearned runs.

 

The Dragons tied the game in the fourth on a Brantley Bell two-run single before taking the lead in the fifth on a throwing error by Lansing shortstop Aaron Attaway.

 

But the Lugnuts squared the score at 3-3 in the bottom of the fifth, as Long threw away a potential double play ball while John La Prise came in from third.

 

La Prise led Lansing's offense, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Both Carl Wise and Juan Tejada added two-hit nights, and Lansing starter Jon Harris struck out eight batters in seven innings, allowing three runs, two earned.

 

Thursday is the finale of the four-game series, the fourth day of the Lugnuts' eight-game homestand, and a Labatt Thirsty Thursday Gone Wild: Tattoo Appreciation Night, with $2 beers and half-off craft brews!
