As a result of a rain postponement May 19, the first-place IronPigs (62-47) play a doubleheader tonight to start a three-game series against the third-place Scranton/W-B Yankees (57-50). With a 7-1 loss to Buffalo last night, the Pigs have now dropped four in row following their five-game winning streak and were swept in a two-game home series against the Bisons.

The Yankees -- New York's top affiliate -- have lost three consecutive games following a season-high, six-game win streak. Prior to the winning streak, the Yanks had now been more than seven games above .500 since April 27 (14-6)...
