Durham Bulls News Release
Durham, NC - The Durham Bulls (51-42) picked up a 5-3 win against the Norfolk Tides (44-49) to complete a three-game sweep on Sunday evening at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
After three scoreless innings, Durham struck first as DH Jonathan Aranda knocked a two-run shot to left. In the sixth, Norfolk RF Kyle Stowers caught fire on a solo shot to trim the Durham lead to one. The Bulls, however, would respond in the bottom half of the frame with RBI doubles from C Rene Pinto and CF Ryan Boldt to extend their lead to 4-1, and an RBI single from 1B Tristan Gray to round out the three-run inning. In the eighth, Tides SS Gunnar Henderson cut the Bulls lead back to two with a solo shot.
Durham pitcher Taj Bradley picked up the win in his Triple-A debut after five innings of work, allowing no runs on three hits, and ringing up eight strikeouts. Bulls reliever Javy Guerra notched his fifth save, while Norfolk pitcher Kyle Bradish picked up the loss.
The Bulls are set to continue their nine-game homestand on Tuesday evening for their series opener against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, with first pitch scheduled for 6:35pm. Starting pitchers for both teams have not yet been announced.
Tickets for that game and all remaining 2022 home games are still available and can be purchased at DurhamBulls.com.
