Bulls Stick Tides with 9-6 Loss
Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Durham Bulls and Norfolk Tides.

The Durham Bulls defeated the Norfolk Tides, 9-6, in part because of catcher Estibenzon Holmes. Holmes was 1-2 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for the Bulls. Johnny Grove picked up the win with 5 innings of work. He allowed 2 runs on 6 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 6. On the season, he is now 4-4. Picking up his 1st save was 27-year old right-handed pitcher Matt Gillespie.

Early in the game, Holmes had a 3-run home run for Durham. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Bulls on top, 3-2.

Bulls manager Arnáo Dique 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."

Durham has a record of 17-22, placing them last in the South Division.
