Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release


The Lehigh Valley IronPigs will look for their fourth straight win they open a three-game set with the Columbus Clippers on Monday night. First pitch from Coca-Cola Park is slated for 7:05 p.m.

RHP Ben Lively (3-0, 2.45) will be on the bump for the Pigs in the series opener on Monday. Lively got a no-decision on Wednesday at Norfolk when he allowed one run on three hits to go along with a walk and four strikeouts in 7.0 IP. Since being promoted to Lehigh Valley on May 27, the Pensacola, Fla., native has held opponents to a .144 average over his six starts.

LHP Ross Detwiler (1-4, 4.88) gets the ball for Columbus opposite Lively. The southpaw earned the win on Wednesday vs. Rochester after giving up one run on three hits while walking one and fanning three over seven innings of work. Back on May 12 against the IronPigs, Detwiler struck out one over three shutout frames in a no-decision.

After notching a pair of hits on Sunday, Pigs INF Emmanuel Burriss has hit safely in 10 of his 13 starts with the club. During that stretch, Burriss is hitting .288-0-5 (15-52, 2 2B, 3B, 2 BB, 4 R).

Following the game, David "The Bullet" Smith will perform his death-defying Human Cannonball performance presented by PSECU. Monday is also a Berks Foods Dollar Dog Night with $1 hot dogs available throughout the game.
