Durham Bulls News Release
Durham, NC - From the first pitch of the game, destiny was in Durham on Saturday night as the Bulls defeated the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 6-2 at the DBAP.
Tristan Peters (HR, 1) drilled the game's first pitch for a home run, sparking the Bulls (3-5) to snap a two-game slide. Durham added a second run in the opening inning, converting Dominic Smith's double into a run thanks to a fly out and groundout.
Niko Goodrum (HR, 1) swatted his first homer as a Bull off of Roddery Munoz (L, 0-2) with a man on in the third, staking Durham to a 4-0 advantage.
Starting pitcher Jacob Lopez (W, 2-0) worked five innings for his second straight start, handcuffing the Shrimp (4-4) to just a pair of runs delivered by a Tristan Gray home run, his fifth in as many games against his former team.
The Bulls tacked on a run in the fifth and seventh.
Ruben Cardenas finished 3-4 with a triple and a run scored.
Four Bulls pitchers combined on a walk-free game, fanning 13 Jacksonville hitters.
Jake Odorizzi (0-1, 9.00) will start Sunday's homestand finale against Marlins' rehabbing lefty Braxton Garrett at 1:05 PM ET.
