GAME ONE: The Buffalo Bisons and Syracuse Chiefs played the first of three games in their series on Monday, and both teams were looking to get out to an early series lead. The game was all Bisons from the start, picking up a 9-3 win and improving their record on the season to 17-11.
Murphy Smith took the hill for the Bisons, and in his limited time, impressed. The right-hander went a strong three innings, allowing just one run off of four hits and one walk. Smith’s ERA for the season is now sitting at a minuscule 1.
