Gwinnett Stripers News Release


BUFFALO, N.Y. - Hernan Perez went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBIs, but it wasn't enough for the Gwinnett Stripers (61-68) to overcome a big deficit in a 10-7 loss to the Buffalo Bisons (67-62) on Wednesday night at Sahlen Field.

Decisive Plays: Perez launched the first of his two clouts in the first inning, a solo shot (7) that gave the Stripers a 1-0 lead. Buffalo scored the game's next eight runs, however, taking an 8-1 lead. A solo homer by Yoshi Tsutsugo (5) and grand slam by Cullen Large (6) highlighted the seven runs scored off Gwinnett starter Freddy Tarnok (L, 1-1). Vinny Capra added a two-run homer off Jared Shuster as the lead grew to 10-2. Perez connected on a three-run blast (8) with two outs in the ninth that cut a 10-4 deficit to 10-7.

Key Contributors: Perez and Ryan Goins (3-for-4, run, RBI) each had three-hit nights for Gwinnett, while Tyler White and Yariel Gonzalez added RBI doubles. Large (4 RBIs), Capra (3 RBIs), and Tsutsugo (2 RBIs) combined to drive in nine of the 10 runs for Buffalo. The Bisons threw seven different pitchers, with rehabbing Tayler Saucedo (W, 1-0) getting the win.

Noteworthy: Rehabbing Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies went 1-for-5 with one run scored in his third rehab game. Perez is batting .417 (30-for-72) with four homers, 19 RBIs, and a 1.130 OPS in his last 18 games since August 14.
