Buffalo Bisons (58-54)

Bisons win 4-2. A 3-run 7th was all the Bisons needed to get past Indy. The inning included a 2-run single off the bat of Adron Chambers and a run scoring double off the bat Kevin Pillar. Ryan Schimpf hit his 8th home run and has 4 in his previous 10 games; unfortunately, Schimpf is still struggling to string enough hits together to raise his average above .200. Brad Mills did what Quad-A pitchers do.
