Down to their final 15 games of the regular season, the IronPigs (69-60) play Game Two of a four-game series against the West's third-place Toledo Mud Hens (52-77) at Coca-Cola Park... With a 4-3 walk-off* win last night, the Pigs have now won four of their last six games to move into a tie in the Wild Card race. Still, since July 6, the Pigs have gone just 18-24 in their last 42 contests -- going from a season-high 3.0-games up to 4.0-games back in the North. The Pigs need to go 11-4 in their remaining games to match their 80-64 record last year... Toledo -- Detroit's top affiliate -- has still won eight of its last 11 affairs after a six-game losing streak and a 3-15 span from July 21 to August 7. The Hens started 17-9 out of the gates before going 35-68 (.340) since May 4.

*WALK THIS WAY!:

With the 4-3 walk-off win last night, the Pigs now have a remarkable IL-leading 13 walk-off victories in 2012 (the previous franchise-record of 7 set in 2011; and they had 1 more in postseason)...
