The Bulls play the first game of a three-game set - and six-game road trip - against the Syracuse Chiefs at NBT Bank Stadium. Durham has won four in a row, and is 14-5 over its past 19 games, after opening the season just 3-6 - the worst nine-game start in the franchise's 18-year Triple-A history. The Bulls enter today's game in sole possession of first place in the IL South, and six games above .500, a first for the 2015 season. Syracuse - the Washington Nationals' top affiliate - is 4-2 over its last six games, and is trying to dig itself out of a 6-13 start to the season.
