Vikings Take Tight Tilt
The Minneapolis Vikings got a strong performance from pitcher Rafael Escobar, who stymied the Buffalo offense en route to a win, 2-1, at Bison Stadium. Johnny Wickwire recorded the save, his 16th. The Vikings, now 46-38, have won 4 in a row.

Minneapolis relied on the bat of David Espaillat to get the win. The center fielder ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Vikings ahead, 2-0. For the game, Espaillat had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"That's a solid team effort right there," said Escobar. "Everyone's feeling positive after that win."
