Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release
The IronPigs (28-22) play Game One of a four-game series against the first-place Gwinnett Braves (30-20) at Coolray Field... With a 7-2 loss last night, the Pigs were swept in the four-game at Charlotte and have started 0-4 on this eight-game South Division road trip. Lehigh Valley has now lost a season-high, four straight games after going 10-3 in their prior 13 contests... The Braves -- Atlanta's top affiliate -- defeated Rochester 1-0 last night to win their third game in a row and take the four-game, home series, 3-1. The Braves have also won five of their last seven affairs since a season-high, four-game losing streak.
RHP Dave Bush (4-3, 2.73) will start for LHV against RHP Julio Teheran (4-2, 2.98).
First-Pitch is at 7:05 p.m... Gwinnett will try and tie their season-best, high-water mark of 11 games above .500 (they were 11 games up on 5/14 and 5/15).
THE PIGS WILL LOOK TO WIN TONIGHT...:
* To avoid losing five consecutive for the first time since 6/21/11-6/26/15.
* To avoid potentially falling back a season-high 4.5 G behind PAW -- which would be their largest deficit since the end of '10 (29.5).
