The system went 4 and 2.
Buffalo- Forrest Wall returned to the Bisons’ lineup, last game on June 6th, making his presence felt right away. Kevin Smith, Tyler White, Christian Colon, and Nash Knight joined Wall in the multi-hit department as Buffalo scored 6 runs on 12 hits. The Herd had three long balls. John Axford appears ready to join the Blue Jays bullpen with three strikeouts over 1.2IP, allowing one hit.
New Hampshire- The Fightin Phils held the Fisher Cats off the board while scoring 6 runs on 7 hits. Luis Quinones made his Double-A debut, surrendering all 6 runs. Mike Ellenbest, Graham Spraker, and Fitz Stadler combined to hold Reading off the board over 5.2IP, striking out 10 and walking two.
Vancouver- The C’s took a 5-4 lead with a 4-run 8th inning but the AquaSox tied it up in the 9th, sending the game into extra innings. The damn AquaSox scored another run in the 10th to put the pressure on the C’s in the bottom of the 10th. Vancouver loaded the bases for Will Robertson who scored Philip Clarke with an HBP and Sebastian Espino walked in Ronny Brito with the walk-off run to snap the C’s losing skid.
Dunedin- A strong pitching performance from Alejandro Melean and a pair of 2.0IP relief appearances from Jefferson Herrera and Julian Valdez was wasted as the D-Jays were held off the board by the Lakeland Flying Tigers.

Today we turn our attention to Tyler White.
Batting 3rd and playing 1st for the Bisons, the 30-yr-old veteran had another strong game. It took a little time for White’s power to show up in 2021 but it has finally arrived. White had only one HR heading into July in 37 games but he’s hit 6HR in just 16 games in July.
