Rochester, NY --- Tommy Milone threw a six-hit complete game to lead Rochester past Durham 3-0 at Frontier Field on Monday night.

Milone (W, 3-0), who fanned 12 over eight scoreless innings in his last outing, struck out 13 over a 115-pitch complete game, tying his career-high in strikeouts in the process.

The Red Wings (21-16) took a 1-0 lead on Matt Buschmann (L, 3-3) in the third on a two-out double by James Beresford. Josmil Pinto drilled a two-run homer to left in the sixth, pushing the lead to 3-0.

The Bulls (20-19), who lost for the fifth straight game, have not scored a run in their past 27 innings - not since Nikc Franklin's two-run homer in the first inning against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Buschmann worked the first seven innings, permitting five hits while fanning six. Grant Balfour stranded two in the eighth.

Jake Elmore and Alexi Casilla had two hits apiece.

Durham continues its series with Rochester on Tuesday with a day-night doubleheader. Scott Diamond starts the 11:05 AM ET game, with Enny Romero getting the call at 7:05 PM ET.
