With an 8-2 over the Bisons last night, the Pigs have won six consecutive games -- one away from tying their franchise record -- and continue to own the best record in the International League (Gwinnett is 8-4)... The Bisons -- the Mets' top affiliate -- have now fallen to 2-4 on this current nine-game homestand. Buffalo has gone just 2-6 after starting the season 3-1.

LHP Pat Misch (1-1, 4.50) will start for LHV against RHP Chris Schwinden (1-1, 3.00).

SEVENTH HEAVEN?:

Currently, the Pigs are riding a 6-game winning streak -- their longest since a 2011-season high, 6-gamer from 5/16/11-5/22/11. These two, 6-game surges are tied for the 2nd longest in team history... Prior to this latest, LHV only had 3 streaks with 5+ wins.

* With a win tonight, the Pigs will tie their longest winning streak in franchise history -- a seven-gamer from 6/14/09-6/20/09.
