Syracuse, NY - The Bisons fought back from a 5-0 deficit only to lose when the Nationals affiliate scored a run off Miguel Castro (1-3) in the eighth. Castro coughed up the lead on two hits while striking out one. Daniel Norris set down the Chiefs in order in the first but was knocked around for five runs over the next two innings. He did retire seven of the last eight hitters and picked off a runner but he still surrendered five runs (four earned after a Jon Berti error at second) on four hits and four walks with only two strikeouts.
