This evening the Bisons and Lehigh Valley IronPigs play game two of a three-game series.

Buffalo will return home on Monday to begin a four-day, five-game series with the Pawtucket Red Sox.

The Herd scored first thanks to a Jonathan Davis' opposite field home run. However, Lehigh Valley would score seven unanswered runs off of Bisons' starter Shawn Morimando. The IronPigs quickly erased the two-run deficit with a three-run double off the bat of Dievy Grullon in the bottom of the 3rd inning. Former Bison Gift Ngoepe hit a homer in the winning effort as well for the "Pigs.

Romano collected a win in his first outing of the year on 4/6 in relief.
