Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release


The Lehigh Valley IronPigs will look to snap their two-game skid when they wrap up the four game, home and home set with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on Thursday night at Coca-Cola Park at 7:05 p.m.

LHP Cesar Jimenez (2-4, 3.48) will make his first start of the year in the series finale for the Pigs. Jimenez's last outing came on Tuesday at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre when he was tagged with the loss after giving up three runs on four hits to go along with a walk and a strikeout in 0.2 IP. The southpaw will be making his first start since April 20, 2014 which also came against the RailRiders.

RHP Bryan Mitchell (5-5, 3.12) gets the ball for manager Dave Miley's squad on Thursday. Mitchell got the win on Saturday vs. Toledo after allowing two runs on five hits while walking one and fanning seven over five innings of work. The Reidsville, N.C. native has also appeared in six games with the Yankees this season and is 0-0 with one save and a 2.89 ERA in those contests.

The first 3,000 fans 18 and older in attendance on Thursday will receive a Real Tree Camo Cap sponsored by the Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays. There is also a pregame Happy Hour from 5 to 6 p.m. in the AT&T Plaza with $1 hot dogs and $2 domestic drafts.
