Prior to the official start of the trip, the Pigs had gone 10-3 in their prior 13 contests to reach a high-water mark of 10-games above .500 on May 23... The Red Sox -- Boston's top affiliate -- lost 2-0 to Norfolk on Thursday to split the four-game, home series. Still, the Paw Sox finished 5-3 on the homestand and have gone 18-9 in their last 27 affairs since May 4.
