Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release


The first-place IronPigs (76-51) play Game 2 of a three-game, road series against the Syracuse Chiefs (55-72) at NBT Bank Stadium -- where the Pigs are 5-1 this season... With a 4-2 victory in 10 innings last night, the Pigs snapped a two-game skid while winning a third-straight meeting with the Chiefs. With Scranton/WB getting suspended at Buffalo last night, the Pigs' Magic Number to clinch their first-ever North Division was trimmed to 5. Lehigh Valley reached its season apex on Aug. 5 at 70-43 (.619) and 11.0 games up, but has gone just 6-8 in its last 14 affairs since. Still, the Pigs own a 47-26 record since June 3 -- going from 0.5 games back to 9.5 games ahead... The Chiefs -- Washington's top affiliate -- snapped a two-game surge that culminated their impressive 4-3 West-division road trip. The Chiefs are 13-9 since last at their season low-water mark of 42-63 on July 28.

LHP Ranger Suarez (2-0, 3.19) will start for LHV against RHP Austin Voth (4-8, 4.53).

First-Pitch is at 6:35 p.m.
