One crazy comeback II

Bisons PR maven Brad Bisbing provides this nugget from Wednesday night's miracle: Buffalo's six-run ninth was just its second six-run inning of the season -- and its first since its Opening Night win April 3 at Norfolk. Hoping to parlay some of that momentum, the Herd will try for its third three-game home winning streak of the season in today's game against Rochester.

The collapse added to the woes for the Rochester bullpen, which is 1-6 with a 7.28 ERA in its last 15 games. Last night, four Wings relievers -- four! -- didn't record an out. Bad.

There's a big challenge on the mound today in Rochester lefty Francisco Liriano, the former Minnesota all-star on the way back from Tommy John surgery. With the lefty on the mound, red-hot Brad Snyder is getting the day off.  So is Josh Barfield, who is sitting for just the second time this season (hmmm -- is that call from Cleveland getting closer for him?). Chris De La Cruz, who made his Bison debut as a pinch runner and scored last night, will play second and bat leadoff today.

Here's the Buffalo lineup:

Chris De La Cruz, 2b

Jorge Velandia, ss

Michael Aubrey, dh

Todd Linden, rf

Ryan Mulhern, 1b

Aaron Herr, 3b

Jason Cooper, lf

Jason Tyner, cf

Wyatt Toregas, c

Dan Reichert, p
