Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release


The Lehigh Valley IronPigs will look to make it three in a row when they host the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on Tuesday night. First pitch from Coca-Cola Park is slated for 7:05 p.m.

LHP Anthony Vasquez (3-3, 4.02) will be on the bump for the Pigs. The San Antonio native was tagged with the loss at Buffalo on Thursday when he gave up five runs on six hits while walking five and fanning two over 3.1 IP. Vasquez is 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA in 3 GS at home this season compared to a 2-2 record with a 5.32 ERA in 5 GS on the road.

RHP Joel De La Cruz (5-0, 2.55) gets the ball for the RailRiders on Tuesday in what will be his third start of the season. De La Cruz's last outing came in relief on Wednesday vs. Louisville when he fired four hitless innings and fanned one. His last start came back on May 26 at Pawtucket when he got the win after surrendering one hit to go along with three walks and three strikeouts over five shutout frames. De La Cruz is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA in his 2 previous GS this season.

After a multi-hit effort on Monday night, Pigs INF Cord Phelps has now hit safely in 11 of his last 12 contests. In that time, the 28-year-old is hitting .372 (16-43)-1-11 with six doubles, four walks and six runs scored.

The first 3,000 fans 18 and older in attendance will receive an IronPigs T-Shirt presented by Cedar Crest College.
