Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release
The IronPigs (14-14) return home to start a seven-game, North Division homestand with the opener of a three-game series against the first-place Pawtucket Red Sox (15-12) at Coca-Cola Park... With a 6-1 loss in Rochester yesterday, the Pigs dropped the final two contests to split the four-game series with the Red Wings. Still, Lehigh Valley has won six of its last 10 affairs... The Red Sox -- Boston's top affiliate -- shut out Scranton/WB for the second-straight day, 2-0, to sweep a two-game, home series from the RailRiders (back end of a home-and-home). The Sox have won three in a row to take over the division lead. With a win tonight, they will match their longest winning streak of 2018 (April 20-23).
LHP Cole Irvin (1-1, 4.50) will start for LHV against LHP Josh Smith (0-0, 0.59).
Tonight features On-Field Photo Day for Bacon USA Members only... First-pitch is at 7:05 p.m.
