Some action from Saturday night:
Durham smacked Buffalo 10-2. After the Bulls touched Brandon Knight for four runs in 4.2 innings, and Connor Robertson for six in 0.2, Eddie Kunz worked the final 2.2 frames in scoreless fashion.
New Britain beat Binghamton 6-5. Lucas Duda doubled and homered, his second of the year. Dylan Owen (0-5, 6.97) gave up six runs on ten hits – two homers – in five innings.
St. Lucie scored three times over the final two innings to beat Clearwater 4-3. C Francisco Pena, who was 2-4, doubled to begin the Mets two-run ninth inning rally. Angel Calero worked around eight hits, two homers, two walks and two wild pitches to allow three runs in seven innings.
In the SAL, the Gnats and Tourists split a doubleheader. Savannah outslugged Asheville 11-8 in game one behind a three-hit game from 2B Jordany Valdespin who doubled twice, and and a five-RBI game from 1B Josh Satin who doubled and homered. SS Wilmer Flores’s double in four trips was his fourth of the season. Flores (.257/.303/.303) was 2-3 with a walk in game two. Flores has hit safely in in seven of his last eight games.
In game two, Eric Beaulac allowed five run in 5.1 innings to fall to 2-3, 3.66 ERA in the Gnats 5-2 loss.


Friday, the Buffalo Bisons placed RHP Dillon Gee and Carlos Muniz on the DL with right shoulder strains. That’s an imprecise diagnosis, but it will have to do for now.
