The Lehigh Valley IronPigs will begin a three-game set with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders at PNC Field in Moosic on Tuesday night. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. The IronPigs sit at 54-69 on the year after dropping three of four against Pawtucket over the weekend. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre enters play at 69-54 and in first place in the North Division despite losing two of three vs. Rochester.

RHP Sean O'Sullivan (1-2, 4.97) gets the ball for the IronPigs on Tuesday. The San Diego native was tagged with the loss on August 11 at Syracuse after giving up four runs on four hits to go along with a walk and three strikeouts over six innings of work. O'Sullivan will be making his second start of the year against the RailRiders. On July 29 at Coca-Cola Park, the right-hander allowed seven runs (six earned) on eight hits in a loss against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

LHP Eric Wooten (2-3, 4.95) will make the start for manager Dave Miley's squad in the series opener. Wooten's last outing came in relief on Thursday at Pawtucket when he allowed four hits while walking a pair and fanning four over 5.2 scoreless IP. Tonight will mark the southpaw's second start of the year against the Pigs. Back on April 21 at PNC Field, Wooten was dealt the loss against Lehigh Valley after surrendering three runs on seven hits in 5.0 IP.
