Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release
The IronPigs (32-26) play Game Two of a four-game series against the second-place Gwinnett Braves (33-26) at Coca-Cola Park... With a 10-1 win last night, the Pigs have now won three straight over the Braves (by a 30-8 total margin) and have leveled 2-2 in this rain-shortened, seven-game homestand. Still, Lehigh Valley has gone just 4-8 since reaching its high-water mark of 10-games above .500 on May 23... The Braves -- Atlanta's top affiliate -- have dropped back-to-back games. They've also lost six of their last seven affairs since the Pigs snapped their five-game winning streak on May 30 (their fourth, five-game win streak of 2012).
RHP Tyler Cloyd (4-1, 2.47) will start for LHV against former Reading Phillies LHP Yohan Flande (2-3, 3.44).
Tonight features a Curious George appearance... First-Pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m...
