Lehigh Valley’s bullpen shutdown Charlotte, Reading stumbled, and Clearwater piled on the runs.
Here’s a rundown of the Phillies’ farm system from Friday.
INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE (AAA)
Lehigh Valley 2, Charlotte 1: LH Brandon Leibrandt allowed just a run in 4 2/3 innings, and the bullpen handled it from there in the IronPigs’ (34-25) a series-opening win over the Knights (26-34).
LH Tom Windle (W, 5-2), LH Zac Curtis, LH Austin Davis, and RH Pedro Beato combined to shutout the Knights, keeping them to only two hits in the last 4 1/3.
1B Joey Meneses went 1-for-4 at the plate, but his lone single in the third brought home the tying run.
