With a 3-0 loss last night, Lehigh Valley has lost three consecutive games for the first time this season and dropped a five-game series to Scranton/WB, 4-1... The Bisons -- the Mets' top affiliate -- swept a doubleheader against Rochester yesterday (4-2; 4-1) to split a four-game home series. This sweep snapped a six-game losing streak for the Bisons, who look to win three straight for the first time in 2011.
