Triple-A Durham Bulls (44-55)
Jacob Faria lasted longer than his previous start when he was bombed, but that is not saying much in Durham's 6-4 loss to Rochester. After striking out the opening batter of the game, Faria allowed three straight hits to give the Red Wings a 1-0 lead. They scored again that inning and later hit a pair of solo home runs off Faria, who was charged with six runs on nine hits and two walks in five-plus innings with six strikeouts.
