Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release
The IronPigs (42-53) return to Coca-Cola Park for a seven-game homestand that starts with Game 1 of a four-game series against the West's fourth-place Toledo Mud Hens (41-54)... With a 6-2 loss yesterday in Rochester, the Pigs split the four-game series against the first-place Red Wings. The surging Pigs have won 13 of their last 18 affairs and 17 of their last 25 matchups with North opponents. In fact, Lehigh Valley is 20-11 in the last 31 contests since falling to their low-water mark (22-42) on June 14... The Mud Hens -- Detroit's top affiliate -- won 3-2 in 10 innings over Indianapolis to snap a five-game skid and salvage the finale of a four-game, home series. Still, the Hens have dropped five of their last six contests and have posted just a 6-11 record in July... Toledo is the only team the Pigs have not yet faced in 2015.
RHP Jason Berken (5-6, 3.42) will start for LHV against RHP Tim Melville (3-8, 4.93).
Tonight is Dog Day #4, presented by TD Bank. First Pitch is at 7:05 p.m.
