Gutierrez Swings Bellflowers to 14-6 Win
Buffalo and Whitby got after it at Eláguila Stadia.

In the 14-6 Buffalo win over Whitby, the impact of Mario Gutierrez was substantial. Gutierrez hit 3 home runs. He drove in 7 runs and scored three times. Miguel Gastelum got the win, improving to 1-3. He worked 6 innings, giving up 1 run on 5 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 2.

With Buffalo leading 2-0 in the top of the third, Gutierrez came up to bat against Whitby pitcher Kevin Harris. Gutierrez hit a splitter to right-center for a 3-run home run. His 7th home run of the season put the Bellflowers on top, 5-0.

Bellflowers manager Andy Perez wasn't all too pleased, despite the win, telling reporters that the performance highlighted some clear areas for improvement moving forward. He refused to be more specific, however. "I'm not gonna publicize our weaknesses," he said. "That stuff stays in the clubhouse."

Buffalo, with the win, is 9-25.
