Durham Bulls News Release

Durham, NC - An eight-run Gwinnett ninth inning broke open a tight game as the Stripers beat Durham 11-3 in the Bulls' homestand opener on Tuesday night at the DBAP.

Osleivis Basabe hit a first inning home run against Stripers starter Darius Vines (W, 3-3) for a 1-0 lead. But Gwinnett (11-11) tied the game with a run in the third and went ahead on an Alejo Lopez homer in the fourth against Ian Seymour (L, 0-1).

Trailing 3-1 in the seventh, Jake Mangum singled with one out, then stole second. Logan Driscoll walked ahead of a run-scoring double to right from Bob Seymour as the Bulls closed to within 3-2. Following a walk to fill the bases, Kameron Misner popped out before Basabe grounded into a force out to end the threat.

In the eighth, Gwinnett left fielder JP Martinez made a diving catch of a Mangum sliced flyball with a runner at first to preserve the lead.

The Stripers pushed across eight runs in the ninth against Enmanuel Mejia and Nathan Wiles to put the game away.

Seymour allowed two runs over five innings to take the loss in his Durham 2024 debut.

The series continues Wednesday night with Drew Rasmussen (0-0, 0.00) scheduled to make a rehab start for the Tampa Bay Rays opposite Zach Logue (3-6, 3.08) at 6:35 PM ET.
