The Setup: Pigs go for the Iron Rail repeat

Follow @IronPigs
It's a winner-take-all contest for the 2018 Iron Rail Rivalry Series tonight in the Lehigh Valley IronPigs' final 2018 regular-season home game at Coca-Cola Park.

PITCHING MATCHUP

Drew Anderson returns to the mound for the Pigs against Nestor Cortes Jr.. The pitching matchup is presented by Allentown Family Foot Care, which provides the latest in medical and surgical treatments of the entire foot and ankle.
Anderson goes for his ninth win of the season in the finale at Coca-Cola Park. Making his 18th start of 2018, Anderson is 8-4 with a 3.75 ERA. Going 3-1 over his last seven starts, Anderson has not allowed more than three runs in any of those outings. Cortes is a familiar opponent as the Pigs having seen him five times in his career including the 2017 Governor's Cup Playoffs. He is 6-5 this year and 1-1 in three starts against the IronPigs.

LAST GAME

Dylan Cozens and Matt McBride homered while Cole Irvin was stellar in a 5-3 Pigs victory at Coca-Cola Park. Irvin tossed six innings of one-run ball to secure his 13th victory of the campaign and break the Pigs' single-season wins record. With his 33rd save of the season, Pedro Beato tied his own franchise record that he set in 2017. Recap

HEAD-TO-HEAD

It's a winner-take-all for the Iron Rail Rivalry Series. Although the Pigs can only match Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in terms of head-to-head wins, a 10-10 split would keep the trophy in the Lehigh Valley because they won the final meeting.
The IronPigs magic number to clinch the IL-North is now at 0! With Saturday night's victory, the IronPigs captured their first-ever IL North Division title and will take on the IL Wild Card winner in the Governor's Cup playoffs.
