TODAY’S GAME:
This evening, the Buffalo Bisons face the Norfolk Tides in the first game of a four-game series at Harbor Park (7:05 p.m.). The Bisons are coming off a 3-1 series loss to Durham to begin this eight-game roadtrip. After Friday’s game, the Bisons will return home for an eight-game homestand against Indianapolis and Durham.
VS. TIDES:
The Bisons split a four-game series with Norfolk back at Coca-Cola Field, May 8-11. It was a close fought series as the Tides only outscored the Bisons, 12-11. Buffalo has split their series against the Tides in Norfolk in each of the past three seasons.
FEELIN’ SULLY:
OF Cory Sullivan is now on a nine-game hit streak after yesterday’s 2-4 performance. Sullivan has hit .457 (16-35) during his stretch to raise his average 64 points since May 21 (.202 - .266). He has six runs, three doubles, three RBI and five walks during his streak. Tonight, Sullivan can become the first Bisons player to reach a 10-game hit streak this season.
NEW YORK BOUND:
The Mets announced today that they will activate INF Alex Cora before their game in Pittsburgh tonight. Cora hit .214 (3-14) in three games with the Bisons on a major league rehab assignment. Cora was placed on the DL on May 18th with a torn ligament in his right thumb.
BIG WILY STYLE:
OF Wily Mo Pena homered yesterday as part of a two-hit game. The slugger is now riding an eight-game hit streak where he has averaged .344 (11-32) with a double, two home runs and four RBI.
