LHV Game Notes
August 13, 2018 - International League (IL1)
Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release
In a battle of the top two teams in the IL, the North Division-leading IronPigs (72-47) play the opener of a three-game, home series against the South-leading Durham Bulls (65-51) at Coca-Cola Park... With a 4-0 win at Louisville yesterday, the Pigs took the rubber match of the three-game series against the Bats and salvaged a 2-4 on the road trip after starting with a season-high, four-game losing streak. The Pigs also reduced their Magic Number to clinch the North Division to 11 on Sunday. Despite the recent skid, Lehigh Valley has won 24 of their last 35 contests and owns a 43-22 record since June 3 -- going from 0.5 games back to 10.0 games ahead... The Bulls -- Tampa's top affiliate -- fell short of a three-game sweep with a 6-3 loss at Scranton/WB last night. Still, the Bulls have dropped five of their last eight affairs after last being at their season high-water mark at 62-46 on Aug. 4... Durham took the first meeting between the two teams from April 20-22 at DBAP.
RHP Enyel De Los Santos (9-4, 2.51) will start for LHV against RHP Ryan Weber (7-4, 2.15).
First-Pitch tonight is at 7:05 p.m.
