LAST GAME

Enyel De Los Santos (5-3) worked quickly through seven innings for Lehigh Valley, but a couple of pitches came back to burn him at the end of the night. A lead-off home run from Edwin Espinal in the third inning, and eventually another from Mike Gerber in the sixth provided most of the damage for Toledo. Dawel Lugo added a lead-off triple in the fourth inning and scored a pitch later on a Christin Stewart single. Grayson Greiner provided some insurance with an RBI single in the top off the ninth to score Jim Adduci.
Dean Anna had another productive day at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI, while Adron Chambers added a double and a run scored for the Pigs.
