The Bisons had a rough week, going 2-5.  The Herd ran into the first place Rochester Red Wings and were only able to steal 1 of the 4 games against them.  Buffalo suffered from a poor showing on the mound this past week as they allowed at least five runs in five of their seven games.

Dalton Pompey has been something special to watch over the past 12 games as he has hit safely in all of them.  Pompey went 9-18 (.500) over the past week and scored three runs.  Pompey is batting .405 over the past 10 with nine runs scored, four RBIs, and four stolen bases.  Jesus Montero continued to provide the thump in the middle of the order as he collected his 7th homer of the season and added three more RBIs to his total of 34.

On the mound there has not been a ton of standout performances during the loses this week.  Wade LeBlanc had the one possible exception as he threw 7 innings and allowed only two runs on five hits this past Wednesday against the Rochester Red Wings.  He also only walked one batter while striking out nine.

Jeremy Gabryszwski had a decent outing this week in two different starts.  Each time out he was able to go six innings, allowing just one earned run between both starts as he struck out nine.  The rest of the starting pitching staff struggled to keep the opposition off the board.

The D-Jays continue to struggle to put something together and are on a current four-game losing streak.  Over the past week they are 2-4 and have been blown out in each of their loses.  Ryan McBroom had a solid week at the plate and went 8-for-21 with a pair of runs scored.  The pitching had it rough this week.  Conner Greene had one of the better starts as he threw 6.0 innings and allowed just a run on five hits and three walks.  He had some command issues but struck out six in the no decision.

Single A – Lansing Lugnuts
(Record 30-30)

The Lugnuts continue to fall in the standing as they can not seem to get back on track.  They currently sit four games out of first and won only two games the past week.  Over the 2-4 week they had issues giving up massive amounts of runs.  Starter Sean Reid-Foley turned in a lights-out performance Saturday as he pitched seven innings of solid ball.  Through the outing he allowed only four hits and a walk while striking out four in the win.

Some Lugnuts hitters have been on fire lately but have not been able to score a ton of runs as they have not been hitting in timely spots of the game.  Lane Thomas is currently on a seven-game hitting streak and has also scored in six straight.  He has six runs scored in the past week with three home runs and six RBIs.  Juan Kelly has also been bring some thunder as he has three homers in the past week with six RBIs.
