TODAY’S GAME: Tonight, the Buffalo Bisons square off with the Toledo Mud Hens in the first game of a four-game series at Fifth Third Field (7:00 p.m.). The Herd was shutout by the Clippers in the finale of their modern-era record 16-game homestand yesterday afternoon.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN: The Bisons are on the road for the first time since May 14. During its last eight-game road swing, May 5-14, the Herd went 5-3 at Gwinnett and Charlotte. Buffalo went 9-7 during their modern-era record long 16-game homestand. The Bisons will return to Coca-Cola Field on June 9 against the Norfolk Tides and the Pawtucket Red Sox.
vs. HENS: The Bisons have yet to take on Toledo this season. In 2011, the Herd split the season series with the Mud Hens (4-4). Since their return to the International League in 1998, Buffalo has a .500 record at Fifth Third Field (28-28), but only 1-11 there since becoming the Mets affiliate in 2009.
WE ARE FAMILIA: RHPJEURYS FAMILIA takes the ball tonight for the 11th time this year. In his last outing, May 25 vs. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the righty allowed four runs in two innings of a no-decision (1K). On the road, this season, Familia is 3-0 with a 3.18ERA and 26 strikeouts in 22.2 innings of work. In all four of his starts away from Coca-Cola Field, Familia has allowed just one run in each outing.
