tonight’S game

The Durham Bulls host the South Division-rival Charlotte Knights for the Bulls’ home opener and the start of a 4-game series at the DBAP. Durham is coming off their first loss of the season Sunday afternoon in Gwinnett, but come home having won the series three games to one. The Knights meanwhile swept their season-opening 4-game set at home vs. Norfolk, and currently sit a game ahead of the Bulls for first place in the division.

laSt night

The Bulls suffered their first loss of the season Sunday afternoon, as they fell behind the Gwinnett Braves 4-0 before eventually losing 4-2 at Coolray Field. Durham attempted to rally with an RBI double by Curt Casali in the fifth and a solo home run from Mike McKenry in the seventh, but the comeback stopped there with the Bulls going down in order in the final two frames. Starting pitcher Ryan Yarbrough (0-1) took the loss after allowing 4 ER on 7 hits, 2 HR, over 6 IP.

line drive leonard

Patrick Leonard may have gone hitless in the Bulls’ first loss of the season Sunday, but the 6’4” third baseman still comes back to Durham tied for the International League lead with 8 hits and 2 stolen bases. Leonard is also tied for 4th with 6 RBI.

pitcherS beware

The Bulls and Knights enter this early-season series with two of the hottest lineups in the International League. Durham comes home leading the league in Triples (4) while ranking 2nd in Runs (29) and RBI (26). Charlotte sits in a whole other class however, with the Knights pacing the league in Runs (39), RBI (35), Hits (60), Home Runs (7), TB (92), AVG (.375), and OBP (.442).

trio of tripleS

Outfielder Dayron Varona is the primary reason the Bulls lead the IL in triples early on, as the 29-year-old Cuban paces the league with this trio of early-season triples after hitting only one in 117 games with the Bulls in 2016. Varona’s deluge of three baggers isn’t entirely unprecedented however, as he did hit seven in only 69 games with Double-A Montgomery in 2015.

home opener hiStory

Durham has now won six straight Opening Day games thanks to their 10-8 victory in Gwinnett on Thursday. The Bulls have also enjoyed a lot of recent success in their home openers, with the club winning seven of their past eight home opening contests at the DBAP dating back to 2009. That includes a 7-3 victory over Charlotte last year.

that really eScalated QUickly

The Chicago White Sox minor league system pulled off a dramatic turnaround during the offseason, vaulting from a bottom 10 system to the No. 3 system according to MLB.com. The trades of Chris Sale and Adam Eaton brought in Top 100 prospects Yoan Moncada (No. 2), Lucas Giolito (No. 11), and Michael Kopech (No. 16), with both Moncada and Giolito playing with the Knights. That new duo is joined by fellow Top 100 prospects Reynaldo Lopez (No. 46) and Carson Fulmer (No. 71), as well as ChiSox Top 30 prospects Zach Burdi (No. 7), and Adam Engel (No. 16).

top proSpectS in dUrham

The Bulls’ Opening Day roster includes nine of the Top 30 prospects for Tampa Bay on the squad, as well as three listed among the Top 100 prospects in MiLB. The top-flight talent includes Willy Adames (Rays’ No. 1, MiLB No. 21), Jake Bauers (#4/#76), Casey Gillaspie (#5/#100), Chih-Wei Hu (#8), Jake Faria (#9), Jaime Schultz (#15), Ryne Stanek (#16), Taylor Guerrieri (#18), and Ryan Yarbrough (#24).

the firSt of many

The in-state rivalry between Durham and Charlotte will once again be well-tested in 2017 as the two teams play each other 21 times, the second most frequent opponent for the Bulls this year. The games are spread relatively evenly throughout the calendar, with at least one series in each of the five full months on the schedule.

long ballS vS. the bUllS

The Bulls starting rotation has allowed a league-high 6 home runs thus far this year, with 9 of the team’s 20 runs allowed coming on the long ball.

let’S make a deal

8 of the 25 players (32%) on the Bulls’ Opening Day roster came to the Rays organization via trade, including Willy Adames, Jake Bauers, Patrick Leonard, Mike Marjama, Chih-Wei Hu, Andrew Kittredge, and Ryan Yarbrough.

third time’S the charm

Manager Jared Sandberg returns to Durham for his third year at the helm of the Bulls in 2017. The 39-year-old former big leaguer has been unable to get the Bulls to the postseason in his first two years as manager, finishing with a 74-40 mark in 2016 before going 64-80 in 2017. The Bulls have never gone three straight years without making the playoffs since joining the International League in 1998.
