Red Wings 4, IronPigs 2

Hitting - Jim Murphy had just one hit in his last 13 at-bats, but went2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI for the IronPigs. Murphy is in his first season at Triple-A and is now hitting .286 in the early going, but has yet to hit his first home run with the 'Pigs.Pitching - Barry Enright went 5 innings, giving up eight hits for Lehigh Valley. The good news came in the form of reliever Phillippe Aumont, who walked four straight hitters on Tuesday night, but rebounded Thursday to strike out three hitters, while walking just one in 2 innings. Aumont threw first-pitch strikes to eight of the nine batters that he faced.Key Play - Maikel Franco may be slumping at the plate, but he continues to contribute defensively. Franco made a diving catch on a line drive with one out and a runner on third in the fourth inning to prevent a run from scoring.Later, Franco was involved in a 5-2-6 double-play when he threw home after fielding a ground ball to get Wilkin Ramirez in a rundown. Ramirez was tagged out by catcher Cameron Rupp, who then threw to shortstop Ronny Cedeno, who was covering third, to get Eric Fryer, who was attempting to move to third base on the play.Pig Notes - The IronPigs will be losing starter Jonathan Pettibone, who will be rejoining the Phillies to make a start this Saturday against the Marlins in Philadelphia. Pettibone may get at least one more start with the big league club before Cole Hamels is activated off the DL later this month.He said what? - "He took a step in the right direction tonight. He had a better pace, he had a better rhythm, he worked more efficiently, he worked ahead and he simplified and just tried to stick with the game plan. Hopefully, he can repeat it and repeat it again." - Manager Dave Brundage on Phillippe Aumont's outing.Watching the scoreboard - Lehigh Valley (3-5) is now 2 _ games behind Pawtucket in the IL North.
