After Norfolk had pulled to within 4-3, Dom Keegan homered in the seventh to put the Bulls up 5-3.
Cummings worked five innings of two-run ball in his first-ever Triple-A start.
Durham closed the home slate 43-32 at the DBAP.
The Bulls close out the regular season with a six-game, five-day series in Charlotte beginning Tuesday night at 6:35 PM ET.
