Zapata Hits Two Homers in 8-6 Win for Buffalo
The Buffalo Bisons knocked off the Durham Bulls, 8-6, at Coca-Cola Field. Fernando Zapata was a big reason Buffalo won. The designated hitter was 2 for 3 with 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. Buffalo reliever Tristan Cox picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Jack Coan was saddled with the loss. Buffalo now sits in third place in the North at 35-41.

Buffalo grabbed control in the bottom of the seventh. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, Will Ward delivered a run-scoring single, to make it 6-5 in favor of the Bisons.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Bisons manager Mike Sarbaugh. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
