Triple-A Durham Bulls (31-25)

Chih-Wei Hu had a rough inning in Durham’s 6-3 loss to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. After a 1-2-3 first, Hu allowed the first three hitters in the second to reach. He induced a popup, but two runs scored on a single and an error, and the RailRiders eventually took a 4-0 lead through two innings. Brandon Snyder’s two-run homer got the Bulls on the board in the sixth before the RailRiders added an insurance run in the bottom half of the inning.
