The Syracuse Chiefs topped the Buffalo Bisons, 4-2, in International League action at NBT Bank Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Syracuse pitcher and Plano, Texas, native Joe Frey. The winner was Tim Kinzer in relief. His record improves to 5-5. Pat England took the loss. Earning the save was Thom Stevens. He's now cashed in 18 of 21 save opportunities.

Syracuse went up, 4-1, on Kevin M. Gonzalez's 7th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which Gonzalez hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Buffalo pitcher Pat Alvarado shaking his head.

Syracuse manager Dave Anderson praised his team's "businesslike approach."
