Buffalo Beats Maine, 10-0
The Buffalo Rangers used an offensive barrage to beat the Maine Lobster, 10-0, at Ballpark of Portland. Jose Puga, who led the EC in triples with 8 last year, led the way, going 2-for-3 for Buffalo. Alcides Zaldivar, the winning pitcher, improved to 8-9. He pitched 5 innings, giving up 5 hits and no runs, while striking out 5 and walking 3. The first-place Rangers have a one-game lead in their division.

Early in the game, Puga had a run-scoring double for Buffalo. It was his 28th double of the season and put the Rangers on top, 1-0.

"We're in a little funk right now and we've just got to get ourselves out of it," said Maine manager Matthew McExpos.
