After getting shutout by the International League's best pitching team on Wednesday, Darrell Ceciliani didn't waste any time putting a point on the board as he jumped on the first pitch of the game and drove it onto the berm beyond the right-field wall.

 

The center-fielder crushed another two innings later, powering the Buffalo Bisons to a 6-5 win over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders at PNC Field on Thursday.

 

Ceciliani picked up a third RBI in the fourth, sending a long sacrifice fly to the corner in left to bring in Casey Kotchman and give the Herd a 4-0 advantage.

 

Coming off the longest outing of his 11-year career, Chris Leroux worked six full frames. The right-hander cruised through the first three innings before running into some trouble in the fourth. Down by four, the RailRiders sent eight men to the plate to score four of their own, quickly tying the game.

 

Ike Davis reached on a single and was doubled home by Tyler Austin. Jonathan Diaz poked a base hit to right field and was taxied to the plate on Pete Kozma's first home run of the year.

 

Leroux got things back on track in the fifth, using just four pitches to work a brisk 1-2-3 inning. The rangy Canuck sat down all three again in the next inning, ending his night with seven hits, a walk and four strikeouts - enough to pick up his seventh win of the season.

 

Buffalo was gifted a 5-4 lead in the sixth as Tyler Webb balked with two out and Wilkin Castillo on third. Andy Burns grounded out on the next pitch to end the frame.

 

The bonus score proved to be vital in the long run.

 

The Bisons added another an inning later as Matt Dominguez led off with his 12th double of the year. Two batters later, Melky Mesa drove in the third baseman by drilling a liner off of the top of the wall for a two-bagger of his own.

 

Unfortunately for the Herd though, Mesa pulled up lame as he reached second base and had to be replaced by Alexi Casilla.

 

The Riders made it a one-run contest again in the bottom of the eighth. Aaron Judge drew a walk, the first issued by Danny Barnes as a Bison, and rounded the rest of the bases on Tyler Austin's second double of the night.

 

Ryan Tepera then shut things down in the ninth, punching out a pair of batters around a fully-extended catch by Andy Burns in shallow left field to earn his 12th save.

 

The win snaps the Bisons' seven-game losing streak to the RailRiders.

 

The Herd will now take the cow path home to battle the Iron Pigs inside the familiar fences of Coca-Cola Field for a three-game series beginning Friday night - the final set before the three-day All-Star break.

 

BISONS NOTES:

Darrell Ceciliani is the third member of the Herd to hit two home runs in a game this season. Domonic Brown accomplished the feat on April 20 -- also at PNC Field. Casey Kotchman belted a pair in Rochester on June 6…The eighth-inning run surrendered by Danny Barnes was his first as a Bison, ending his scoreless streak at 8.1 innings…Ryan Tepera moves into third in the International League in saves…The victory improves Buffalo's road record to 28-18, second in the I.L. to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at 31-15.

Manchester, NH - All-Star Rowdy Tellez matched a season-high with three hits, but the Fisher Cats could not complete a four-game sweep of Portland, falling 11-0 to the Sea Dogs on Thursday night at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.

 

Portland RHP Keith Couch (6-4) pitched the complete game shutout . He allowed seven hits, three of them singles by Tellez. He did not walk a batter and struck out six.

 

Portland (31-55) scored twice in the top of the third inning. Rainel Rosario reached on a single and error and Tzu-Wei Lin bunted for a base hit and stole second. Mauricio Dubon plated both with a single for a 2-0 Sea Dogs lead.

 

The Sea Dogs broke the game open with eight runs in the top of the fifth inning, which featured a three-run homer by top Boston prospect Yoan Moncada (3-for-5, HR, 3 RBI). Catcher Jake Romanski also singled home two runs in the inning as Portland opened a 10-0 lead.

 

Andrew Benintendi singled and scored in the sixth inning to account for Portland's final run.

 

Conner Greene (1-1) took the loss for the Fisher Cats (39-47), allowing five runs in 4.1 IP in his second start of the season with New Hampshire.

 

The homestand continues on Friday night at 7:05 p.m. when the Fisher Cats take on the Binghamton Mets at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. An Atlas Fireworks Show will follow the game, presented by Ford.

DUNEDIN, FL - The Dunedin Blue Jays (11-4) knocked out 15 hits, one shy of a season high, in their 10-3 win over the Clearwater Threshers (8-7) on Thursday night. Six Jays collected multiple hits while four Jays scored multiple runs.

 

RHP Chris Rowley (W, 7-1) went the minimum five innings to earn his sixth win as a starter. He gave up two earned runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out three. After allowing a run in the top of the first on a 1B Kyle Martin sac fly, Rowley received plenty of run support thanks to five Jays' runs in the bottom of the second.

 

In a 1-1 game with one out in the frame, C Mike Reeves grounded a potential inning-ending double play ball to 2B Scott Kingery. The second baseman's throw sailed wide of the bag at second, allowing two runs to score. From there, Dunedin tagged starter RHP Luke Leftwich (L, 1-2) for five runs (three earned) in the frame. Leftwich lasted four innings, taking his second loss in the last week to the Blue Jays.

 

Dunedin, up 6-2 heading to the seventh, added four more runs, capped by Reeves' second home run of the season. Reeves scored three runs in the game as well. Both of his long balls have come against Clearwater pitching.

 

LHP Jose Fernandez (H, 6) retired the first seven batters he faced in relief, while RHP Dusty Isaacs recorded the final five outs to seal the win.

 

Dunedin hits the road for four games in Fort Myers. RHP Sean Reid-Foley battles RHP Randy LeBlanc with first pitch at 7:05 PM.

LANSING, Mich. - The Lansing Lugnuts (10-5, 46-39) overcame deficits of 6-0 and 9-3, scoring eleven unanswered runs for an electrifying 14-9 victory over the Dayton Dragons (4-10, 25-59) on Thursday night at Cooley Law School Stadium.

 

The Lugnuts won three of four games in the series, outscoring the Dragons 36-21 and improving to 9-1 in the season series against Dayton.

 

The Dragons scored in each of the first six innings, tallying solo runs in the first and second against starter Angel Perdomo; adding three runs in the third, one run in the fourth and two runs in the fifth against Tom Robson; and tacking on an unearned run in the sixth off Daniel Young.

 

Trailing 9-3 entering the bottom of the sixth inning, the Lugnuts scored five runs against Dayton starter Tanner Rainey and reliever Junior Arias, keyed by a two-run single by J.C. Cardenas.

 

Reliever Dan Lietz (Win, 5-1) pitched the first of three scoreless innings in the seventh, at last holding the Dragons off the scoreboard.

 

Lansing went quietly in the seventh but not the eighth against Manuel Aybar (Blown Save, 1; Loss, 1-4). Ryan Hissey tied the game at 9-9 with a leadoff home run to right, the catcher's first homer since May 27th. Two batters later, Cardenas laced an RBI double to give the Nuts their first lead of the night.

 

Dayton turned to southpaw Mike Sullivan, but the Lugnuts pulled away on a two-run double by Max Pentecost, an RBI double from Connor Panas and an RBI single from Justin Atkinson, closing a six-run rally.

 

The Lugnuts finished the night with 14 hits, led by Cardenas's 3-for-4, 3-RBI, 2-run performance. La Prise added a 2-for-5 showing with three runs scored, and Atkinson added three runs batted in of his own.

 

It was the most runs scored by the Lugnuts all season.

 

On Friday, the Lugnuts welcome the Lake County Captains to town for the start of a four-game series, the second leg of an eight-game homestand. Caps right-hander Brock Hartson (5-3, 2.70) starts against Lansing left-hander Ryan Borucki (5-3, 2.95) at 7:05 p.m., with LAFCU Fireworks following the game.
