BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Pawtucket Red Sox smacked a trio of home runs in the first game of their doubleheader, only for the nightcap to be postponed due to rain Monday night at Sahlen Field.
The PawSox (10-12), who were slated to play two seven-inning games, fell 10-5 to the Bisons (7-14) in the first game, then waited out the rain afterward before a postponement for the scheduled second game. Now, the PawSox and Bisons will play a doubleheader Tuesday beginning at 5:05 p.m.
In the first game of his rehab assignment, Eduardo Nuñez (mid-back strain) batted second, served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with a deep flyout to the warning track in the right-field corner, a hard lineout to right field, a fly ball to left and a groundout to short.
The teams scored in each of the first six half-innings of the game, as Buffalo grabbed a 5-4 lead into the fourth inning. The Bisons then plated five runs in the bottom of the fourth.
