Still, the Pigs have won five of their last seven games and are 8-3 in their last 11 contests. Lehigh Valley is now 4-2 on this eight-game, West Division homestand... The Bats -- Cincinnati's top affiliate -- have won back-to-back times for just the fourth time this season (last time was April 27-28).
