BUFFALO 5, SYRACUSE 2 (BOX)
Things started off decent for Jose Butto, but the right-hander hit a bump in the fifth. Until that point, he allowed a run over four innings, which isn’t bad. In the fifth, he allowed three more runs on three hits and two walks, shifting his line on the season from possibly alright to definitely bad. Syracuse, who initially had the lead thanks to a Brandon McIlwain RBI double, managed only one more run.
