After five previous starts allowing two runs or less, Chad Green finally broke into the win column on Tuesday night.The right-hander earned his first Triple-A victory went six innings &#8212; the third time he went at least six frames this season &#8212; allowing just one run on four hits to lead the RailRiders to a 5-2 win over Buffalo at Coca-Cola Field to snap Scranton/Wilkes-Barre&#8217;s three-game losing streak.The only run Green gave up came in the third inning with two outs on an RBI-single by Alexi Casilla.By the time that run scored, the RailRiders already had three on the board, which was more than enough support for Green.Gary Sanchez (2 for 5) led the RailRiders offense doubling in a run in the top of the first inning giving them a 1-0 lead then crushing a two-run homer in the third inning putting the team in front 3-0.Rob Refsnyder, playing in right field for the first time since 2014, extended his hitting streak to eight games going 2 for 4. The RailRiders added two more runs in the seventh to go up 5-1 when Jonathan Diaz walked with the bases loaded to score Refsnyder, and Chris Parmelee scored on a force out.Buffalo scored a run off Conor Mullee in the bottom of the ninth for just the second earned run that Mullee has allowed this season in a SWB uniform in eight games.The series with the Bisons continues on Wednesday at 1:05 p.m. when righty Kyle Haynes (1-0, 3.29) pitches for the RailRiders against fellow right-hander Arnold Leon (0-0, 2.25).Bisons 5, RailRiders 3RailRiders`AB`R`H`BIGamel cf`5`0`0`1Kozma ss`4`2`1`0Sanchez c`5`1`2`3Swisher dh`4`0`0`0Refsnyder rf`4`1`2`0Parmelee 1b`3`1`0`0Puello lf`4`0`1`0Romero 3b`3`0`0`0Diaz 2b`3`0`0`1Totals`35`5`6`5Buffalo`AB`R`H`BICastilla 2b`4`0`1`1Burns ss`3`0`0`0Brown rf `4`1`2`0Montero 1b`4`0`1`0Kotchman dh`4`0`1`1Jimenez c`4`0`0`0Lake cf`3`0`1`0Adams 3b`2`0`1`0Berti lf`3`1`0`0Totals`31`2`7`2RailRiders`102`000`200`&#8212;`5Buffalo`001`000`001`&#8212;`2E: Sanchez (1), Adams (3), Casilla (2).
