In Allentown Tyler Cloyd won his 12th game for the IronPigs, and his minor league leading 15th overall in Lehigh Valley's 5-3 win over Rochester. Cloyd (12-1, 2.23) went 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits and 3 walks and is a sure bet for a September call up, if not sooner. Jake Diekman and Justin De Fratus each threw a scoreless inning of relief, and struck out 2 apiece. Pete Orr had 4 hits, including a home run, stole 2 bases, and scored 2 runs for Lehigh Valley, and Sebastian Valle added a single, a double, and an RBI for the Pigs. The victory allows the IronPigs to keep pace with Pawtucket and Scranton, and at 66-58, Lehigh Valley trails the Red Sox by 1.5 games in the wild card race.
