DURHAM (DEVIL RAYS) 3, PAWTUCKET (RED SOX) 2

PAWTUCKET, Rhode Island (Ticker) -- Jim Magrane tossed six innings of one-hit ball and Jorge Cantu homered as the Durham Bulls topped the Pawtucket Red Sox, 3-2, to take home the Governors' Cup for the second straight season with a three-game sweep.

Magrane (1-0) allowed two runs -- one earned -- and one hit, a two-run homer by Cesar Crespo in the fifth inning, for the win.

The 25-year-old, who struck out seven and walked four in the contest, has yielded just two earned runs and four hits in 11 1/3 innings pitched in the playoffs.

Lee Gardner worked a perfect ninth to record his fifth save of the postseason.

Cantu snapped a 2-2 tie with a solo home run in the sixth inning.

Jason Tyner reached in all four plate appearances and forced in a run in the fourth for Durham, which won six straight games after dropping its playoff opener to the Louisville Bats to capture the title.

The blast by Crespo was his first of the postseason and he finished 9-for-27 (.333) to lead Pawtucket in the playoffs.

Bruce Chen (0-2) gave up three runs and seven hits, fanning nine and walking four, in 5 2/3 innings to suffer the loss as the Red Sox failed in an attempt to win the Cup for the first time since 1984.
