Let&#8217;s take a look at the week that was!
<h2>Bisons drop five of six</h2>
After losing twice in the first half of the week, the Buffalo Bisons got back in the win column with a 14-6 win on Friday. It was an extra-base extravaganza for the Bisons, as Riley Tirotta and <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/news/blue-jays-nations-2025-pre-season-prospect-countdown-no-24-rainer-nunez">Rainer Nunez</a> hit home runs. Nunez also hit a double, as did Alan Roden and Orelvis Martinez, who hit two, as well as a triple. Josh Rivera also hit a triple.
