PREVIEW: The Delmarva Shorebirds just concluded a seven game road trip to Lakewood and Greensboro and open a week-long homestand tonight with a four game set against the BlueClaws. Lakewood is the Class A Affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. The Shorebirds took three of four games from Lakewood in their only scheduled trip to New Jersey last weekend, with the only loss coming on a walk-off home run. Since opening the season with a 4-6 mark and losing two of the first three series on the campaign, the Shorebirds have a series record of 7-2-1 over their last 10 sets, going 22-13 over that stretch. Delmarva is two games out of first place in the Northern Division with 24 games left in the first half. Lakewood beat Hagerstown yesterday to salvage the series, but they have lost to the Division-leading Suns in 10 of 11 contests this season.

TODAY'S OPPONENT: Right-hander Harold Arauz gets the ball from Shawn Williams in the series opener. Arauz just pitched against Delmarva last Friday night, going six strong innings with seven strikeouts and just one unearned run against him. This is his 61st professional game and his 42nd career start. He was acquired by Philadelphia in a trade with Houston in December, 2015.

LAST GAME QUICK HITS: The Shorebirds smacked a season-high three home runs, including two from Alex Murphy, but lost the series to Greensboro by falling 11-4 yesterday afternoon. Delmarva surrendered five runs in the bottom of the second frame and played from behind all game. They pulled within three runs in the fifth, but a pick-off ended the inning with Yermin Mercedes representing the tying run at the plate. Cristian Alvarado (2-4) took the loss after giving up six runs on five hits. Patrick Baker also allowed a season-high four runs in 1.2 innings.
