The IronPigs (39-50) play Game 2 of a three-game set -- and Game 4 of a five-game, home-and-home series -- against the Pawtucket Red Sox (38-51) at McCoy Stadium... With the 4-2 comeback win last night, the Pigs have won three consecutive games as well as 10 of their last 12 affairs and 14 of their last 19 matchups with North Division opponents. In fact, Lehigh Valley is 18-9 in the last 27 contests after dropping 15 of 18 games from May 24 to June 11... The Paw Sox -- Boston's top affiliate -- have dropped a season-high, 11 consecutive games -- their second longest losing streak in team history behind a club-record, 13-game skid in 1985 (July 26-Aug. 6). In addition, the Sox are just 6-21 since June 16 and 20-41 since reaching their high-water mark of 18-10 on May 7... This marks these two teams' first meeting at McCoy Stadium this season.
