Yanks take tight one
Not much changed for the Bisons a day later in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Pitching still ruled, the rains still came and unfortunately for the Herd, it was on the short end of another low-scoring game, falling 2-1 against the Yankees.
Adam Pettyjohn delivered another solid outing for Buffalo but the Yankees came away with the 2-1 victory over the Bisons, Sunday afternoon from PNC Field. The Herd has now lost three straight close games with finals of 2-1, 1-0 and 2-1.
