The Durham Bulls, Triple-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, return home this week following a week on the road in Jacksonville. The Bulls will host the Charlotte Knights, Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, in a 6-game homestand Tuesday, July 20 through Sunday, July 25.

A look at the action coming up this week

All times Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Saturday, July 24: You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout... because Santa Claus is coming to town - in July! Saturday will be the Bulls' annual Christmas in July Weekend celebration.
