After dropping a heartbreaker in extra innings on Saturday, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs will look to bounce back on Sunday afternoon against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. First pitch from PNC Field in Moosic is set for 1:05 p.m.

RHP David Buchanan (0-2, 4.94) gets the ball for manager Dave Brundage's squad in the series finale. The Atlanta native was tagged with the loss on Monday vs. Pawtucket when he allowed six runs (four earned) on 10 hits while fanning three over six plus innings. Over his 4 GS this season, Buchanan has walked just four batters in 23.2 IP.

RHP Luis Cessa (0-0, 3.86) gets the ball for the RailRiders on Sunday afternoon. Cessa got a no-decision on Monday at Buffalo when he allowed three runs on four hits while walking three and fanning a pair over 5.0 IP. Back on April 26 vs. the IronPigs, Cessa gave up two runs on four hits to go along with a walk and two strikeouts over 5.1 IP in a no-decision.

Pigs 1B Brock Stassi had a multi-hit game on Saturday and hit his first Triple-A home run, a solo shot off of Brady Lail in the second inning. Stassi has now hit safely in his last three games (4-8) to raise his average to .270 on the year.
