Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release


The Lehigh Valley IronPigs will go for the sweep of the Rochester Red Wings on Wednesday afternoon. First pitch at Frontier Field in Rochester is set for 1:35 p.m.

RHP David Buchanan will be on the bump for the Pigs in the series finale. Buchanan spent the majority of 2015 with the Phillies (2-9, 6.99 in 15 GS), but also had 10 GS with Lehigh Valley (4-2, 2.80) and 2 GS on rehab with the Rookie level GCL Phillies (1-0, 0.00). Over parts of three seasons with the Pigs, the Atlanta native is 14-6 with a 3.29 ERA in 28 GS. In 2015, Buchanan was 1-0 with a 1.04 ERA in two starts against Rochester.

RHP Tyler Duffey (0-0, 0.00) gets the ball for Rochester on Wednesday afternoon. Duffey got the start on Thursday at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and allowed just two hits while walking two and fanning a pair in four shutout innings. Over two starts against the Pigs in 2015, the right-hander did not allow an earned run in 13.0 IP of work.

Pigs INF/OF Darnell Sweeney was a combined 5-7 with a double, two triples and two runs scored in Tuesday's doubleheader sweep. Sweeney became just the third IronPig ever with two triples in a game and the first since Pete Orr on July 13, 2012.
