Bundy surrendered his first two hits of the game in the fourth inning before Jose Abreu brought in a run on his groundout. His final three hits of the game came in the sixth inning, including a two-RBI single for Andrew Vaughn.
Jhoan Duran pitched the final two innings and held the line to earn his sixth save.
