Buffalo beat San Diego on the strength of starting pitcher Sean Abbott's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 4-3. Tony Loaiza finished to wrap up his 13th save. The slumping Chargers have lost 6 straight.

Buffalo used the hitting of Juan Castro to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Bills on top, 4-2. For the game, Castro had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"We're in a funk and we need to shake ourselves out of it," said San Diego manager Manny Garcia.
