Fitzgerald Homers Twice in 7-5 Patriots Win
New England left fielder Matt Fitzgerald had 3 ribbies while helping his team defeat the Buffalo Bills, 7-5. New England pitcher Isaiah Whyms got the win. He's now 1-0. Trevor McMichael was tagged with the loss. Phil Kelley wrapped it up, recording his 2nd save.

New England used a clutch at-bat from Danny Aviles to capture the win. The pinch hitter hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Patriots ahead, 6-5. It was his lone hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a humdinger.

"You look inside of the game, it's just quality approach after quality approach," said Patriots manager Victor Santos.

New England has now won 4 games in a row.
