Did Ya Know 🧐 :
COBRA CAIRO: A stalwart of the 'Pigs offense, Christian Cairo has failed to get on-base in just two games this month. He’s swiped eight bags and scored 14 times in May, both totals leading the team. He’s done this without a XBH in the month, his last coming when he homered on 4/26 against Durham. - Sam Jellinek - Manager, Broadcasting & Media Relations - Lehigh Valley IronPigs

RH Gage Wood - 3 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 1 BB, 6 K’s - 56 pitches - 38 strikes - good first AA outing - HR against him was on a pitch up in the zone (looked like a splitter to me), got a lot of swing and miss on fastballs (had movement & velocity) and sweeper/curve - threw an exceptional one in second inning that catcher Kehden Hettiger pointed out to him afterwards. Talent is evident, mix was better tonight in regard to sequencing.
