Rochester’s offense struggles against the 1st-place Bisons.
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Rochester Red Wings were shutout for a second straight night Wednesday falling 5-0 to the Buffalo Bisons at Sahlen Field.
Buffalo scored all five of their runs in the second inning off Wings starter Tyler Eppler. The big blow was a three-run homer off the bat of Nash Knight.
The Red Wings bullpen — Dakota Bacus, Kyle McGowin, Diego Moreno, Alberto Baldonado and Ronald Pena – combined to hold the Bisons to just one hit over six scoreless innings.
Rochester (33-48) had just four hits and only six total over the first 18 innings of the series. Daniel Palka had the lone extra-base hit.
The last run scored by Rochester was in the ninth inning of Sunday’s walk-off win over Syracuse.
Game three of the six-game series is Thursday night in Buffalo
