Buffalo’s pitching held Pawtucket to just four hits, but the Red Sox did the Bisons one better. Singles to Quintin Berry, Domonic Brown, and Andy Burns represented the only offence as the Buffalo batters struck out nine times and walked just once.
Scott Copeland had an excellent start, throwing six innings and allowing just one unearned run on three hits with five strikeouts and no walks. Aaron Loup and Bo Schultz followed with a scoreless inning each.
