TODAY'S GAME: Tonight, the Buffalo Bisons face the Toledo Mud Hens in the third game of a four-game series at Fifth Third Field (6:00 p.m.). The Herd has fallen in defeat in the first two games of the series, 5-2 and 3-2. Following the conclusion of this series tomorrow, the Bisons will travel to Columbus for a four-game set, June 5-8. The Bisons are 14-14 in road games this season.

FIFTH THIRD WOES: The Bisons struggles in Toledo continued last night as the Herd is just 1-13 in their last 14 games at Fifth Third Field. Buffalo was swept by the Mud Hens at their home in both 2009 and 2010 and won just one of four games last year. Toledo visits Coca-Cola Field from July 16-19.

HARVEY: RHP MATT HARVEY makes his team-high 12th start for the Bisons today. The righty is coming off a six-inning no-decision on May 29 against Columbus. He allowed just one run on three hits in that outing. In his last eight starts, Harvey is 5-0 with a 2.91ERA. During the stretch since April 20, he has struck out 47 and allowed just 34 hits in 46.1 innings of work.

SCHWINDEN: RHP CHRIS SCHWINDEN was claimed by Toronto off waivers yesterday. The righty was 3-4 with a team-best 2.59ERA in nine starts with the Herd this year. Schwinden was the Bisons 2011 Most Valuable Pitcher after going 8-8 with a 3.95ERA and 134 strikeouts in 26 starts.

STARTING STRONG: The Bisons starting rotation has been extremely strong over the last week. In seven games since May 27, the starters have posted a 2.21ERA with 26 strikeouts to only 22 walks in 40.2 innings of work posted. However, the rotation has a 1-2 record in those seven games.

BISONS NOTES: C ROB JOHNSON rejoined the Bisons yesterday. He hit .313 (10-32) in 11 games with New York...RHP PEDRO BEATO has made five appearances during his MLB injury rehab assignment with the Bisons. Beato has pitched scoreless baseball in his last four outings (5.1IP)...OF FRED LEWIS has stolen a base in consecutive games and is now tied with OF COREY WIMBERLY with a team-high seven stolen bases.

METS UPDATE : The Mets (30-23) picked up their second consecutive shutout with a 5-0 victory over the Cardinals on Saturday. Former Bison RHP R.A. DICKEY struck out nine in a complete game effort to improve to 8-1 on the season. INF DAVID WRIGHT doubled and hit his sixth home run of the season. The Mets take on the Cardinals in game three of their four-game set tonight at 8:05 p.m.
