All nine batters for the Mud Hens had hits, including three with two hits, and were highlighted by Mikie Mahtook's 18th home run of the season to push past Buffalo.

Durham Bulls (1-2)

Buffalo and Durham are meeting for the second time in the 2019 season, the first time at Sahlen Field. The teams met last month, 7/26-7/28, where the Bulls took two out of three games from the Herd. This meeting will complete their cross-division season series.
