Before I recap the series, there is some housekeeping to take care of.
After Tuesday's game, Todd Redmond was recalled to Toronto to take the place of recently DFA Chien-Ming Wang. Wang will have the option to accept his assignment and come to Buffalo if he chooses. Todd Redmond is 3-1 with a 5.06 ERA in 26.2 IP in AAA.
Ryan Langerhans was released by the Herd June 21. He had a .220/.338/.435 slash with 9 HR. We was replaced on the roster with Kevin Pillar, who came up from New Hampshire with a .313/.361/.441 slash.
Chad Jenkins, Andy LaRoche, and Ricardo Nanita were placed on the DL. They join pitchers Jeremy Jeffress, Michael Schwimer, and Chad Beck and IF Lance Zawadzki.
Veteran catcher Ramon Hernandez, recently released by the Dodgers, signed a minor league contract with the Jays and was assigned to Buffalo for depth.
To the recap!
Game 1: L 5-4
Ricky Romero was the starter and threw 6 innings allowing 3 runs and did not factor into the decision. He only walked 1 batter and struck out 7. Joel Carreno threw 1.1 IP and gave up a run. Brad Lincoln blew his 3rd save and took the loss as he allowed 4 hits and a run in 1 IP.
The only mulit-hit effort for the Bisons was Mauro Gomez (2-4), but Ryan Goins, Kevin Pillar, and Luis Jimenez hit HR.
