Bisons Lose, 7-6
The Durham Bulls beat the Buffalo Bisons, 7-6, in part because of second baseman Connor Swinney. He was 3-4 with 2 doubles and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The winner was Masanobu Mochizuki, who threw 91 pitches over 6.1 innings. The right-hander was charged with 4 runs on 7 hits. Durham is now 25-32, while Buffalo is 28-30.

Swinney had a game-changing double in the top of the sixth. On a 1-2 splitter from Bernalldo Borreco, he banged a run-scoring double to left-center, giving the Bulls a 2-1 lead. It was the 3rd double of the year for Swinney.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Swinney.
