Phillies minor league report: Meneses, Irvin lead Lehigh Valley to series win

A handful of Phillies minor-league outfits were in action on Sunday.

INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE (AAA)

Lehigh Valley 6, Charlotte 2: 1B Joey Meneses went yard twice and LH Cole Irvin continued to deal as the IronPigs (35-26) took the series.

The cleanup hitter’s first home run Sunday put Lehigh Valley ahead 2-0 in the opening frame. Then in the third inning, Meneses (2-for-4) hit another two-run shot, his 12th of the season.

On the hill, Irvin (W, 8-1) allowed two runs in seven innings and struck out five. The 24-year-old has earned a victory in each of his last seven starts, with two earned runs or fewer in six of those.
