Bulger hit a RBI triple in the first inning to start the evening and then hit a two run homer in the second inning to put the Saints up 4-0. In the third inning, he singled up the middle and completed the cycle in the fourth inning with a two out RBI double down the right field line to make the score 12-0. Bulger finished the evening five-for-six at the plate with three runs and four RBI's.
