James Wood fell a triple shy of the cycle, instead homering twice in a 6-3 Rochester win over Buffalo. Jackson Rutledge was literally knocked from the box in the 3rd as he was unable to get his left leg out of the way of a 110.6 mph line drive. He gave up two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out one in two-plus innings. The win went to Rico Garcia while Richard Bleier picked up the save. Jack Dunn also homered and drove in two, as did Wood and Juan Yepez while going 2-for-3 with a walk. The game was called with two out in the top of the 8th after a 32-minute rain delay.
