The Buffalo Bills outlasted Nelson Maciel and the Miami Dolphins, 8-7. Maciel was impressive in the loss. The Miami center fielder was 3 for 4 with 3 singles, while scoring 2. The win went to Mike Finstad in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Allen Hartman took the loss. Tom Annis zipped up his 3rd save.

Juan Castro went 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for Buffalo. The 28-year old third baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the fourth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a 2-run single off Allen Hartman. It was his 25th hit of the season.

"Nice win for us," said Castro. "Now we'll go after the next one."

Miami has now lost 5 consecutive games.
