On Friday night, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs opened a weekend series in Charlotte against the Chicago White Sox Triple-A affiliate. The Knights’ Matt Tuiasosopo launched two home runs off of IronPigs’ starting pitcher Adam Morgan, including a first inning grand slam to help the home club notch a 7-5 victory.
Morgan, the Phillies’ third round draft choice from 2011, fell to a troublesome 0-5 on the season. After an April in which he sported a 3.74 ERA, the 25-year-old struggled in May, tallying a 6.40 ERA in his last six outings.
