<p>The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders finally found a way to get a win in Buffalo.</p><p>With an offensive explosion, or two.</p><p>Mike Ford and drove home two runs with a single in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre&#8217;s three-run fifth inning and the RailRiders scored three more in the sixth to beat the Bisons, 7-3 and salvage the finale of a three-game series at Coca-Cola Field.</p><p>After falling behind by a run in the first inning, the RailRiders tied the game in the top of the fourth when Zack Zehner doubled home Ford with two outs.</p><p>Then the RailRiders erupted.</p><p>Wilkin Castillo scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the top of the fifth inning, then Ford stroked a single to bring home Ricky Surum and Ryan McBroom with a 4-1 lead.</p><p>That grew to 7-1 in the sixth, when Castillo singled home Zehner, scored on Devyn Bolasky&#8217;s single and Surum drove home Bolasky with another single.</p><p>That was plenty for Adonis Rosa, who improved to 2-0 for the RailRiders in his second Triple-A start of the season and fourth of his career.</p><p>Rosa surrendered an RBI single by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. that scored Dwight Smith Jr. in the first inning, and didn&#8217;t give up much more.</p><p>Rosa allowed just four hits over 6 1/3 innings and lowered his Triple-A ERA to 1.54.</p><p>Buffalo scored twice in the bottom of the 8th inning against reliever Brady Lail and brought the tying run to the plate with the bases loaded.</p><p>But Joe Harvey came out of the RailRiders bullpen and worked out of the jam. Harvey struck out three over 1 2/3 scoreless innings to earn his seventh save of the season.</p><p>Scranton/Wilkes-Barre will continue its seven-game road trip by opening a weekend series at 7:05 p.m. Friday against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Unbeaten Michael King (2-0, 1.74 ERA) gets the start for the RailRiders, while struggling Tom Eshelman (2-12) starts for Lehigh Valley.</p><style>
