Bisons look to rebound

April 24, 2011 - 12:21 PM

It's a gloomy Sunday at the ballpark, but the Buffalo Bisons hope to create a bit of their own sunshine when they take on the Lehigh Valley IronPigs today at Coca-Cola Field. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m.

The Bisons are looking to rebound from a 7-5 loss yesterday to the IronPigs with righty Jenrry Mejia on the mound. The 21-year old is making his fourth start of the season. He has a 1-1 record with 0.98 earned run average -- the fourth lowest mark in the International League.

Today's Bison lineup:

Ruben Tejada -- SS
Kirk Nieuwenhuis -- CF
Nick Evans -- LF
Fernando Martinez -- RF
Valentino Pascucci -- 1B
Russ Adams -- 3B
Luis Hernandez -- 2B
Raul Chavez -- C
Jenrry Mejia -- P
