Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release
The first-place IronPigs (75-50) play the finale of a four-game, home series against the Indianapolis Indians (67-58) at Coca-Cola Park... With a split of the games last night (W, 4-1; L, 5-1), the Pigs are now 3-3 on this seven-game homestand that has featured two of the top four teams in the IL. With Scranton/WB sweeping its doubleheader against Norfolk last night, the Pigs' Magic Number to clinch their first-ever North Division was only trimmed to 7... Lehigh Valley, which is just 5-7 in its last 12 affairs, has still won 27 of its last 41 contests and owns a 46-25 record since June 3 -- going from 0.5 games back to 9.0 games ahead... The Indians -- Pittsburgh's top affiliate -- have dumped seven of their last nine games since Aug. 10, during which time they've gone from 4.0-games up in the West to a tie with Columbus. Still, Indianapolis own a 42-31 record after falling to a season-low water mark at 25-27 on June 1... After a day off tomorrow, the Pigs next begin a three-game series at Syracuse on Tuesday.
RHP Jerad Eickhoff (0-0, 3.00) will start on MLB rehab for LHV against RHP Nick Kingham (4-2, 3.24).
Today features a youth replica jersey giveaway, presented by Coca-Cola. First-Pitch is 1:35 p.m.
