May 16, 2016 - International League (IL1)
Toledo Mud Hens News Release


The Toledo Mud Hens (16-20) dropped their fourth straight game Monday night after losing to the Buffalo Bisons, 4-1.

The story of the game, aside from the forceful gusts of New York wind, was Buffalo's ability to pitch out of jams, as Toledo's offense left ten batters stranded, leaving the bases loaded twice, including the ninth inning.

The Bisons struck first in the bottom of the first inning when Jesus Montero blasted a two-run home, his third of the season, over the left field wall to go up 2-0.

Toledo threatened in the top of the sixth inning with three consecutive singles off the bats of Dixon Machado, Chad Huffman, and Casey McGehee, but the Bisons' Scott Diamond induced Tyler Collins to bounce into a 6-4-3 inning ending double play.

Buffalo tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the seventh thanks to an RBI single off the bat of Dalton Pompey, making it 3-0 Bisons.

The Mud Hens notched three consecutive singles again in the eighth inning courtesy of Wynton Bernard, Machado, and Huffman, and Bernard came around to score on Huffman's RBI single up the middle to cut the deficit to two, 3-1.

The Bisons' offense responded with a run of their own in the bottom of the eighth, extending their lead to 4-1, which is how it ended at Coca-Cola Field.

Daniel Norris (0-4) had a solid seven innings of work for the Mud Hens scattering eight hits, striking out four, walking one, and only allowing three runs. Preston Guilmet came in to pitch the eighth inning, allowing three hits and one run.

Buffalo's Scott Diamond earned the win while going 7.1 innings and surrendering one run off eight Mud Hen hits, and David Aardsma came on in the ninth to get his sixth save of the season.

Toledo's top three in the lineup (Bernard, Machado, Huffman), combined to go 7-12 with two doubles and an RBI.

The Mud Hens play game two tomorrow in Buffalo with the first pitch set for 6:05 p.m. Toledo returns home on Tuesday, May 24 against Durham to begin a six game home stand.
