R.J. Alaniz (1-2) allowed three runs in the top of the ninth inning as the IronPigs would take a 5-4 lead. Rob Brantly and Ali Castillo hit RBI singles to chase Alaniz out of the game. Brad Boxberger would finish out the inning but allowed a two-run single to Andrew Romine that put Lehigh Valley ahead 7-4.
Austin Davis (4-1) earned the win by pitching two scoreless innings and recorded four strikeouts. Edgar Garcia earned his seventh save of the season by pitching a scoreless bottom of the ninth inning.
