The Lehigh Valley IronPigs used a seven-run first inning to roll past the Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, 11-3, on Wednesday night at Coca-Cola Park.<\/p>\n
Lehigh Valley sent 10 batter to the plate in the bottom of the first to build the 7-0 lead. Gabriel Rincones Jr. doubled in Dylan Moore to open the scoring. A two-run double from Tommy Pham extended the lead, and Paul McIntosh\u2019s grand slam capped the inning.<\/p>\n
Oswaldo Cabrera and Yanquiel Fern\u00e1ndez hit back-to-back home runs in the top of the second for the RailRiders. Cabrera\u2019s was his second in as many games this week and traveled 414 feet to center. Fern\u00e1ndez drilled a 1-1 changeup from IronPigs starter Drake Fellows down the right field line for his 20th of the season.<\/p>\n
Max Schuemann doubled in Anthony Volpe in the third to cut the RailRiders deficit down to 7-3.<\/p>\n
In the bottom of the fourth, Keaton Anthony lined a three-run homer to left to push the Lehigh Valley lead back to seven at 10-3. The IronPigs added a run on an infield single in the seventh to cap the scoring.<\/p>\n
Yankees\u2019 No. 21 prospect Xavier Rivas (0-1) was tagged with the loss, surrendering six runs on two hits and four walks in 0.2 innings.<\/p>\n
RailRiders\u2019 outfielder Duke Ellis stole second base in the sixth inning, his 44th steal of the season, matching Tommy Barrett\u2019s single-season record. Barrett stole 44 bases in 120 games during Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre\u2019s inaugural 1989 season. Ellis has equaled the record in 81 games played this year.<\/p>\n
