Rochester, New York (April 3, 2025) – The Lehigh Valley IronPigs (4-2) used seven different arms to silence the Rochester Red Wings (2-3) bats across both ends of a doubleheader, capturing 8-1 and 3-1 wins on Thursday afternoon at Innovative Field.

Nicholas Padilla (1-0) earned the win with 1.1 innings of perfect relief for the ‘Pigs, striking out one. Kyle Tyler didn’t factor into the decision, but he started for the ‘Pigs and allowed just one run in 4.2 innings in his first start of the season.

The game stayed tied until the fourth when the ‘Pigs scratched out a run. Cal Stevenson walked, stole second and third, then scored when an error allowed Crawford to reach, giving the ‘Pigs the lead.
Stevenson gave the ‘Pigs a crucial insurance run as he belted an RBI triple in the fifth, making it 3-1.
Michael Mercado (S, 1) struck out the side in the seventh to earn the save for the ‘Pigs, locking down the win.
