After dropping Game 4 on Sunday, the IronPigs go a fourth victory in five games today at Pawtucket.

PITCHING MATCHUP


Tom Eshelman will get the start for the IronPigs against Chandler Shepherd. Today's starting pitching matchup is presented by Allentown Family Foot Care, which provides the latest in medical and surgical treatments of the entire foot and ankle. Learn more at affc.com.
Eshelman is coming off his best start of the season, where he carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning and allowed just one run against Rochester. Shepherd makes his ninth start of the season and is going for his third victory of the year. 

LAST GAME


Enyel De Los Santos allowed just one hit in six-innings of work, but the Pigs fell to the PawSox 1-0 at McCoy Field.  Lehigh Valley held Pawtucket to just two hits in the game while striking nine.

HEAD-TO-HEAD


The Pigs opened up the 2018 season at McCoy Field and split a weather-shortened two-game series. Lehigh Valley won its next six over Pawtucket before yesterday's defeat, and holds a 7-2 advantage in the season series. 
This is trip two of three for the Pigs in Rhode Island. Lehigh Valley will return to McCoy Field in August for the final road trip of the regular season from August 28-30. The PawSox lead the all-time series 81-75.

THIS WEEK AT COCA-COLA PARK


The Pigs return home on Tuesday night when they welcome the Charlotte Knights. The homestand will run through the weekend and wrap up with the Toledo Mud Hens making the trip to Coca-Cola Park. 
The 2018 Season is the IronPigs' 11th season at Coca-Cola Park and 11th as the top affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. Fans can get closer to the team than ever before with a Bacon, USA membership -- a year-round IronPigs experience pass featuring numerous amenities such as savings on parking at games and at the Majestic Clubhouse Store at Coca-Cola Park, on-field VIP access to watch batting practice, access to the annual holiday party, and more.
