The Bats lost two in one day as they were swept in their doubleheader against Buffalo.  In game one, they were shutout 4-0 and the offense was held to two hits.  No extra base hits, just one walks so three baserunners and you’re not going to win too often with that kind of (lack of) offensive production.  Phil Dumatrait fell to 7-5 on the season with a mediocre start.  He gave up three runs on five hits three walks with two strikeouts in five innings.

Game two was a bit closer but the end result was the same as the Bats lost 4-3 in ten innings to make for along day of baseball.  Ricky Stone gave up a solo homerun in the tenth and he took the loss.  Jesse Gutierrez went three for four with two doubles, a run and an RBI.
