The IronPigs (46-51) play the finale of a two-game, home series against the first-place Syracuse Chiefs (58-39) -- owners of the best record in all Triple-A by 1.5 games over Sacramento (57-41) of the PCL. The two teams next return to Syracuse for four games with back-to-back doubleheaders over the weekend... With a 13-0 loss last night, the Pigs have now dropped six of their last nine games. In addition, Lehigh Valley has gone just 17-26 since May 30 -- falling from second place and 0.5 GB in the North to fifth place and a season-high 12.0 GB... Syracuse -- Washington's top affiliate -- snapped a two-game skid and has won seven of its last 10 contests. The Chiefs started to take command of the North Division on May 19, as they've gone 37-17 since then after starting the season 21-22.
RHP Sean O'Sullivan (4-6, 4.20) will start for LHV against RHP A.J. Cole (1-0, 3.78).
