It was a winning day for the Blue Jays organization.

All five Blue Jays affiliates were in action on Thursday, with three teams picking up a win.
Let’s dig into the latest Minor League Report
<h2>Buffalo wins again</h2>
On Thursday evening, the Buffalo Bisons hosted the Worcester Red Sox, defeating the Boston affiliate 6-4 to move their record to 21-15, the third best record in the International League East.
Steward Berroa has quietly become a must-watch prospect, as he hit his fourth home run of the season, while also hitting a double and a single. Leo Jimenez and Brian Serven also had multi-hit games, while Addison Barger and Spencer Horwitz both hit doubles.

Horwitz’s 13th double is tied for the second most in the international league, with Barger not far behind. Rafael Lantigua had Buffalo’s other hit. It&#8217;s time to call him up.

Andrew Bash started the game and finished with a line of 4 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 3 K. Out of the bullpen first was Luis Quiñones, who struck out three, walked two batters, and allowed a hit while picking up his fifth win of the season. Mason Fluharty struck out two and walked a batter in his inning of work. 
Brendon Little had a rough game, giving up three earned runs in an inning of work, leading to an outing from Connor Cooke, who picked up the save in a clean inning of work with two strikeouts.
<h2>New Hampshire shutout</h2>
After shutting out the Harrisburg Senators 4-0 on Wednesday, the Senators returned the favour to the Fisher Cats on Thursday by the exact same score.
New Hampshire registered just three hits, all singles, from Josh Kasevich, Michael Turconi, and Garrett Spain. Moreover, the team had five walks, one each from Alan Roden, Gabriel Martinez, and Andres Sosa, while Rainer Nuñez walked twice. Alex De Jesus was hit by a pitch, meaning the only Fisher Cat who didn’t reach was Phil Clarke.
Although Adam Macko was tagged with the loss, it doesn’t mean he didn’t have a good game. The Slovakian-born lefty finished with a line of 5 IP,  4 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 7 K with two home runs given up. Adrián Hernández has had a nice season, but he gave up two earned runs in an inning and two thirds of work to bring his season ERA to 2.79.

Ian Churchill pitched a clean inning and a third, striking out a batter, with Jimmy Burnette doing the same over his inning of work.
<h2>Vancouver fell late</h2>
The only other loss in the Jays’ system came from the Vancouver Canadians, who fell 6-2 to the Everett AquaSox to bring their record to 12-13.
While the Canadians had just five hits, all were of the extra-base variety as Dasan Brown hit his third home run of the season, which gave the Canadians a 1-0 lead until the top of the sixth.

<h2>Dunedin outscored their opposition 8-3</h2>
It’s been a rough couple of weeks for the Dunedin Blue Jays, but Thursday saw every player in the lineup record a hit in an 8-3 win. Their record now sits at 13-17, which is third in the Florida State League West, but they are now seven games behind the leader.
Although there were 11 hits, only two were of the extra-base variety, as Manuel Beltre and Yhoangel Aponte both hit doubles, with the former being one of two players with a multi-hit game. Cristian Feliz also had two hits, while Jean Joseph, Victor Arias, Edward Duran, Tucker Toman, Alexis Hernandez, and Bryce Arnold all had one single. Hernandez walked three times, while Duran walked twice.
