It wasn’t a great week in the Toronto Blue Jays‘ farm system.
This is the May 23-25 edition of the Minor League Report, where we look at the past three games for each of the Blue Jays’ affiliates. We’ll look at the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats, High-A Vancouver Canadians, Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays, and FCL Jays in this article. If you missed the article from the first half of the week, you can read it here.
Let’s take a look at the week that was!

Bisons drop five of six

After losing twice in the first half of the week, the Buffalo Bisons got back in the win column with a 14-6 win on Friday. It was an extra-base extravaganza for the Bisons, as Riley Tirotta and Rainer Nunez hit home runs. Nunez also hit a double, as did Alan Roden and Orelvis Martinez, who hit two, as well as a triple. Josh Rivera also hit a triple.
Easton Lucas made the start on Friday, giving up four earned runs in four and two-thirds innings to bring his season ERA to 5.88. Jacob Barnes and Kevin Gowdy each allowed an earned run, with Justin Bruihl hurling a clean inning with a strikeout.
That was the high point of the Bisons’ week, as they lost 4-1 in the first game of the doubleheader on Saturday. They totalled just three hits from Nunez, Will Robertson, and Davis Schneider, all singles. Adam Kloffenstein made the start, giving up four earned runs in four and two-thirds innings. Ryan Jennings threw a scoreless inning, and Jimmy Burnette struck out the only batter he faced.
The second game of the doubleheader was a 4-2 loss for the Bisons. Rivera hit a double, one of two hits by the Bisons. Andrew Bash made the start, going four innings with four runs allowed, all of them unearned. Tommy Nance pitched the remaining two innings, striking out five in the process.
In the series finale on Sunday, the Bisons fell 7-2. Robertson hit his fourth home run of the season, and Joey Loperfido hit his eighth double, also hitting a single.
