Triple-A: Durham Bulls (TB) 3, Norfolk Tides 1
A day after a 13-run barnburner, Norfolk couldn’t get the offense firing on Sunday. They managed just three hits, their lone run coming on a fourth-inning oppo-field home run by Joey Ortiz (1-for-3, HR, BB) that brought his team within two. But the Tides couldn’t add to that effort.
Chayce McDermott (3-2, 2.79 ERA) got through three scoreless, but in the fourth he allowed four hits and a walk, giving way to Logan Gillaspie. After McDermott’s struggle, though, four relievers—Gillaspie, T.J. McFarland, Mike Baumann and Joey Krehbiel—combined for 5 1/3 scoreless innings in what was a very solid day for the Norfolk ‘pen.
