Rays prospects and minor leagues: Bullpens battered

Several solid individual efforts from starters and hitters were overshadowed by shake relief Friday

The four bullpens combined to allow 14 earned runs in 13 1/3 innings Friday. Only Charlotte's bullpen held its opponent scoreless.

Triple-A Durham Bulls (12-17)

Durham broke out with a seven-run inning, but it was not enough in its 10-inning, 9-7 loss to Norfolk. Down 1-0, the Bulls sent 13 to the plate in the sixth. Dayron Varona and Taylor Motter drove in two runs each with singles, but the six-run lead was not enough for the Bulls bullpen.
