Bills Score Late, Clip Broncos, 7-6
The Buffalo Bills defeated the Denver Broncos, 7-6, in 11 innings. Kelly Polen led the way, going 4-for-5 for Buffalo. Tom Annis picked up the win in relief for Buffalo, while Manny Genaro took the loss. The Broncos have now dropped 5 straight.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 11th inning, when Buffalo first baseman Leo Sanchez, facing Manny Genaro, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Bills the 7-6 win.

"This place was electric at the end," Sanchez said.
