PITCHING MATCHUP

Anderson has been consistent all season for Lehigh Valley and goes for his ninth win tonight. The 24-year-old is 8-4 with a 4.01 ERA; he has faced Rochester once this year back in May and earned the win after five innings of one-run ball. Romero, who entered the season as the No. 8 prospect in the Twins system has made 11 Major League starts this season. He has faced the Pigs once this year and did not earn a decision. 

LAST GAME


The Pigs took down the Rochester Red Wings 3-1 in the first of their four-game series. The win pushes Lehigh Valley one step closer to matching their franchise record of 85 wins in a season, as they now sit with 82 wins and three games remaining in 2018. Recap

HEAD-TO-HEAD


Last night's victory was the Pigs' 99th all-time win over Rochester. That's more than Lehigh Valley has against any other IL opponent.
