The Rochester Red Wings continued their postseason push Friday night, rallying from an early two-run deficit to beat the Buffalo Bisons 5-3 at ESL Ballpark and move into a tie for first place in the International League's second-half standings.
Rochester improved to 79-49 and pulled even with Indianapolis atop the International League's second-half race thanks to a four-run fourth inning fueled by doubles from Cayden Wallace and Liover Peguero. Chandler Champlain earned the win with 4.1 innings of relief before Yovanny Cruz recorded his fifth save.
The Bisons broke through in the top of the fourth inning after Yohendrick Piñango singled and scored on Jay Harry's RBI double. Harry later came home on Lenyn Sosa's RBI single, giving Buffalo a 2-0 lead.
Starter Isaac Lyon was charged with both runs, with Champlain entering in relief to record the final out of the inning.
The Red Wings responded immediately in the bottom half.
