Minor League Update: Crowe Debuts In Buffalo, Harsh Greeting Met With Blowout

It's BISONS BASEBALL BABY! Buffalo got obliterated in Trevor Crowe's debut. Crowe was in left-field and batted lead-off for the Herd as they lost 15-4 to Charlotte. Crowe went 0-4 with a walk and a run. Bryan Bullington started and went five innings giving up six runs. Brendan Donnelly pitched an inning of relief and gave up a run. Todd Linden celebrated Jason Tyner's release by hitting two home runs.

Welcome to Buffalo Trevor...

Yes, Jason Tyner was released to make room for Crowe on the Roster.

Stephen Head went 3-4 with two runs and a pair of doubles in Akron's win over Binghampton. He certainly is picking it up with Crowe gone and LaPorta soon to be China-Bound. Scott Lewis went 7 innings with only one run given up for the win.

Beau Mills went 2-5 with an RBI and his season average is now up to .282. Kinston lost as Shawn Nottingham gave up just two runs, but couldn't get out of the fifth inning, surrendering 9 hits for the game.

Outfielder Nick Weglarz will wrap up the series this weekend and head off to be with Team Canada on Monday.

The Captains dropped their 6th straight game yesterday.

Mahoning Valley lost as well, Juan Valdes has three RBIs.

Home run derby for the GCL. Abner Abreu hit his 5th home run, Bo Greenwell hit his 2nd, as did Adam Abraham. Oh they beat the Yankees.
