Moncton Topples Buffalo, 6-3
Moncton beat Buffalo on the strength of starting pitcher Byron Bruce's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 6-3. The winner was Bruce. He threw 6.0 innings allowing 1 run. The loser was Tony Cruz. Diego Garcia closed it out for his 11th save.

Moncton used a clutch at-bat from Marc Alexander to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Mounties ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Feels good to get the job done," Bruce said after the game.

Buffalo's current losing streak has reached 6 games.
