Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release
The Lehigh Valley IronPigs will look for their second straight win when they host the Norfolk Tides on Tuesday night. First pitch from Coca-Cola Park is slated for 7:05 p.m.
RHP Jake Thompson (3-4, 3.48) will toe the rubber for the IronPigs on Tuesday night. Thompson got the win in his last start on Thursday at Pawtucket after giving up three runs on six hits while walking two and fanning two in 5.2 IP. The right-hander has allowed three earned runs or less in each of his last 5 GS.
RHP David Hale (0-2, 3.32) gets the ball for manager Ron Johnson's squad opposite Thompson. Hale was tagged with the loss on May 24 vs. Gwinnett when he allowed three runs (one earned) on six hits to go along with two walks and two strikeouts in 4.2 IP. Hale has allowed three earned runs or less in each of his 5 GS with Norfolk. The right-hander began the season in the Rockies system and spent time with Triple-A Albuquerque (0-1, 1.50 in 2 GS) & COL (0-0, 13.50 in 2 G) before being claimed off waivers by Baltimore on April 25.
Pigs C Logan Moore had a career-high four hits in Monday afternoon's win over the Tides. Since being called up from Double-A Reading, Moore is hitting .350 (7-20).
The first 3,000 fans 18 and older in attendance on Tuesday will receive an Aaron Nola bobblehead. It is also Mardi Gras Night and fans are encouraged to wear Mardi Gras attire to participate in this special theme night at Coca-Cola Park.
