Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release


The IronPigs (6-5) play the "rubber match" of a three-game series against the South Division-leading Norfolk Tides (5-5) at Coca-Cola Park... With a 6-0 loss last night, the Pigs were blanked for the first time this season. Still, Lehigh Valley remains 4-2 on this seven-game homestand... The Tides -- Baltimore's top affiliate -- snapped a two-game skid while recording their first shutout of the campaign. Norfolk improved to 2-3 on its weather-shortened, six-game, North Division road trip... After a travel day tomorrow, the Pigs next start a six-game, South Division road trip with the opener of a three-game set against the reigning Triple-A Champion Durham Bulls on Friday.

RHP Tom Eshelman (1-1, 5.40) starts for LHV against RHP Yefry Ramirez (0-1, 2.08).

Tonight is a Bacon Cap Giveaway Night, presented by Hatfield Quality Meats... First-pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

With a win tonight, LHV will earn back-to-back series victories for the first time this season and since June 16-21, 2017 (SYR, @PAW).
