IronPigs Game Notes

July 25, 2012 - International League (IL) Lehigh Valley IronPigs

The IronPigs (56-48) play Game Two of a four-game series against the second-place Norfolk Tides (53-52) at Coca-Cola Park... With a 4-1 win last night, the Pigs snapped a four-game losing streak and a five-game, home losing skid. Even so, the Pigs have dropped six of their last eight contests and have gone just 6-13 in their last 19 games --- going from a season-high 3.0-games up to 2.0-games back in the North... The Tides -- Baltimore's top affiliate -- have now gone just 2-6 in their last eight contests after an 11-3 span June 30-July 16. Since starting the season at 21-31, the Tides have gone 32-21 (.604) since May 30.

LHP Tom Cochran (5-3, 4.26) will start for LHV against LHP Brian Matusz (1-1, 3.68).

Tonight is Coca-Cola Park Snow Globe Giveaway Night, presented by Lehigh Valley Health Network... First-pitch is at 7:05 p.m.

WITH A WIN TONIGHT, THE PIGS WILL...:

Win back-to-back games... they have not won back-to-back games in a span of 19 G since 7/2-7/3 -- which culminated a 4-G home, winning streak... They have not won back-to-back road games since 6/20-6/21 @ TOL (a span of 32 G -- 17 G on the road).
