With the win, the Bisons now hold the 8-7 edge in the season-series with Scranton/WB with the final game between the teams today. Looking for their fifth straight win overall, RHP Jeremy Guthrie will start for Buffalo. The Bisons leader in wins, strikeouts and innings pitched, Guthrie took a loss on Tuesday against Syracuse. The Red Barons will counter with LHP Mike Bascik, who earned a no-decision against Rochester on Tuesday (6.0IP, 9H, 2ER).

Along with the Herd's win last night, the Rochester Red Wings fell to Pawtucket, 8-5. After today's games, Buffalo will host the Wings for their final two home games of the season.
TWO TRIPLES: Joe Inglett tripled twice Saturday, the second time he's accomplished the feat this year (8/2 vs. Indy). Prior to this season, there had been just 12 other two-triple performances in the Bisons Modern Era. David Roberts is the only other Bison to do it twice. Inglett's nine triples on the year are the most for a Bison in a season since Zach Sorensen (2002, 12).

LEFTY RETURNS: LHP Jason Stanford made his first appearance of the season with the Herd last night, allowing a run in two innings of relief. Stanford is working back from reconstructive arm surgery last season. With his outing, the lefty has now pitched for the Bisons in each of the last five seasons, going a combined 14-5 with a 3.06ERA in 29 games.
