Down to their final 14 games (six at home), the IronPigs (59-71) play the finale of a three-game series against the third-place Buffalo Bisons (65-66) at Coca-Cola Park... With a 9-3 victory last night, the Pigs have won four straight contests and eight of their last 10 against Buffalo since starting the season series 0-7. They've also gone 5-2 in their last seven affairs to rebound from losing six of seven games from August 11-16. Since reaching their low-water mark on June 13 (22-42), the Pigs have posted a 37-29 record... The Bisons -- Toronto's top affiliate -- have now lost four in a row as well as seven of their last eight contests. Although the Bisons remain 28-24 since falling to their low-water mark on July 1 (37-42), they've posted just a 9-15 record in August... These teams hadn't met since the Pigs took two-of-three in Buffalo from June 23-25.
