After scoring a run in the 6th inning, the Bisons scored four times in the 7th, thanks in part to a Richard Urena two-run base hit. Derek Law struck out the side to end the game and cap the comeback win.

Pawtucket (2-2)

The Bisons are making their first trip to McCoy Stadium on the 2019 season. Buffalo and the Pawtucket Red Sox will meet nine total times in New England, with a quick two-game series in June and a four-game series in July. Last season the PawSox won the season series with 11 wins in 20 games against the Herd.

Today's Starter

RHP Sean Reid-Foley will make his second start of the season for the Bisons tonight. The righty did not start in his last appearance on 4/12 at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Reid-Foley came into the game after RHP Ryan Tepera threw a scoreless inning to begin the game. He allowed four runs, all earned, in 2.1 innings pitched against the RailRiders.

Cavan Biggio

Infielder Cavan Biggio helped the cause in both games of yesterday's doubleheader sweep. Biggio went 3-4 with 2RBI between the two games, upping his batting average to .432, 2nd best in the IL among qualifiying batters. He also leads the Herd with 16 hits to start the season.
