IronPigs Game Notes

April 5, 2012 - International League (IL1)
Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release


The IronPigs follow up their best season to date with Opening Day 2012 at Coca-Cola Park tonight versus Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees -- the team Lehigh Valley has now started against for four times in five seasons. The Pigs suffered a 7-6 loss at Reading in the 5th Annual 222 Showcase exhibition game on Tuesday -- a game in which the numbers-strapped Pigs saw two R-Phils relievers allow three runs in one inning while pitching for Lehigh Valley... The Yankees -- New York's top affiliate -- finished last season 73-69 and in third place in the North Division, missing the I.L. playoffs for the first time since 2005 and as a Yankees affiliate (a relationship that began in 2007)... This will be a two-game series after which the Pigs will play four games in Pawtucket.

RHP Tyler Cloyd (9-4, 2.77 w/ A, AA) will make his Triple-A debut for the IronPigs against RHP Manny Delcarmen (3-2, 5.59 in AAA).

Tonight is 5th Year Canvas Print Giveaway Night, presented by Service Electric. Gates open at 5 p.m; First-pitch is 7:05 p.m.
