Lehigh Valley 1, Buffalo 0: A costly error resulted in a run in the 6th, tipping a pitcher’s duel and the game to the IronPigs, who won their sixth straight.
After picking up only the team’s third hit, 2B Alexi Amarista would come all the way around to score on a bad throw to first the next at-bat.
That unearned run was just what starter Cole Irvin (3-1) needed for the advantage. The lefty struck out eight over seven innings while allowing two hits for the victory.
LHP Hoby Milner came in to hold the lead in the eighth and RH Pedro Beato recorded his 11th save.
