IronPigs Deal Bisons 7-5 Defeat
Buffalo got a terrific game from center fielder Tomás Biester. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Lehigh Valley, 7-5. Biester was 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Manny Banuelos was the winner. Over 7 innings, he yielded 2 runs on 7 hits, with no walks and 10 strikeouts. Ron Boyer earned the save, his 34th.

It could have been a different outcome for Lehigh Valley, had it not been for Jorge Rodríguez, the 30-year old right fielder . Rodríguez contributed a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put Lehigh Valley up, 2-0.

"I like our moxie," said IronPigs manager John Valentin.

The win lifted the Lehigh Valley record to 79-62.
