Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release


The Lehigh Valley IronPigs will look to make it two in a row over the Norfolk Tides on Saturday night at Harbor Park. First pitch is slated for 7:05 p.m.

LHP Joely Rodriguez (2-6, 6.36) gets the ball for the IronPigs on Saturday. Rodriguez took the loss on Monday at Durham as he surrendered seven runs on 10 hits while walking two and fanning five in 4.1 IP. The southpaw is 0-3 with a 10.20 ERA in his last 3 GS and will be looking to bounce back against the Tides.

RHP Zach Davies (3-4, 2.80) will be on the bump for manager Ron Johnson's squad. Davies was dealt the tough luck loss at Gwinnett on Monday as he gave up just one run on three hits and struck out three in six innings of work. So far this season, right-handed hitters are batting just .200 (22-110) against the Chandler, Ariz. native. Davies was ranked as the No. 6 prospect in the Orioles system by Baseball America entering the 2015 season.

Pigs RHP Hector Neris tossed a pair of scoreless frames in Friday night's 14-inning win which extended his scoreless streak to 12.1 IP dating back to May 25. In that time, Neris has allowed six hits, walked five and struck out 13.
