TODAY’S GAME: Tonight, the Buffalo Bisons host the Columbus Clippers in the third game of a four-game series at Coca-Cola Field (7:05 p.m.). This is the final series in the Herd’s modern era record 16-game homestand. Buffalo has already picked up a 3-1 series win vs. Gwinnett, lost a 3-1 set to Indianapolis and split a four-game series with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

vs. CLIPPERS: The Bisons have won the first two games of their series with the Clippers, 7-1 and 3-1. Buffalo can earn a series win with just one more victory over Columbus. Last year, the Clippers swept four straight from the Bisons at Coca-Cola Field, June 11-14.

OH, JENRRY!: RHPJENRRY MEJIA takes the hill for the Bisons for the first time in over a year. The righty had ‘Tommy John’ surgery on May 16, 2011 after making five starts with the Herd that season. He went 1-2 with a 2.86ERA last year. Mejia began 2012 on the Bisons DL before being sent to St. Lucie (A) to continue his return. He went 1-0 with a 2.45ERA in two starts with St. Lucie and 0-0 with a 5.63ERA in two more starts with Binghamton (AA).

HOLY THOLE: CJOSH THOLE will join the Bisons tonight on a major league injury rehabilitation assignment. Thole will serve as Buffalo’s DH tonight and then catch for RHPCHRIS YOUNG on Thursday morning. Thole was placed on the Mets disabled list on May 8 with a concussion. Thole hit .267 (44-165) with 19 doubles, two home runs and 17RBI for the Bisons in 2010.
