DURHAM, NC - The Sugar Land Space Cowboys (3-6) were held off the board in a 6-0 defeat against the Durham Bulls (6-3) on Sunday afternoon at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

Jesús Bastidas led off the game with a double but was stranded at second. Sugar Land got two runners on in the second thanks to walks to Brice Matthews and Zack Short before the duo executed a double steal with two outs. However, a groundout stranded both runners. The Space Cowboys were able to load up the bases on two walks and a single in the third but RHP Joe Boyle was able to navigate out of the jam for Durham.

The Bulls struck for two runs in the first thanks to a double and a walk with the bases loaded. An error extended the second, allowing an unearned run to score against RHP AJ Blubaugh (L, 1-1), who fired three innings on Sunday afternoon. Durham tacked on another run in the fourth after an error allowed Chandler Simpson to reach and the centerfielder scored on a double by Bob Seymour, who drove in three runs for Durham. A two-run homer by Dru Baker in the eighth gave the Bulls their final two runs.

NOTABLE:

INF Brice Matthews stole two bases on Sunday, pushing his season total to seven, the most in the Pacific Coast League.
