The Buffalo Bisons have posted a trio of four-game winning streaks this season and will try to do it for a fourth time in the opener of tonight's doubleheader against the Durham Bulls in Coca- Cola Field. To do it, they'll have to beat one of the key cogs of the Tampa Bay Rays' 2008 World Series team. Right-hander Andy Sonnanstine, a 13-game winner for the '08 Rays, will be the starter for Durham in the opener. Sonnantine has struggled to find his '08 form as he went 6-9 for the Rays in 2009 and 3-1 last year in 41 appearances (23 starts). He was 0-2, 5.71 this year in 14 games (four starts) before being optioned to Durham, where he is 2-3, 4.17 in six games (five starts).

Kyle Davis looked out from beneath the grandstand roof at historic Goodall Park as a light drizzle fell on the grass. Growing up less than half an hour away, across the state line in Rochester, N.H., Davis had sat in these seats with his father, watching baseball on a field that once welcomed Babe Ruth and, more recently, served as a springboard for current major league pitchers Andy Sonnanstine and Kevin Slowey.
Good pitching, solid defense and timely hitting is a winning combination the surprising Tampa Bay Rays rarely put together when they were managed by Lou Piniella.
