Minor League Monday

Lehigh Valley IronPigs (18-31, 11.5 GB)
It was another tough week for the Phillies' AAA team. The IronPigs went 2-4 this week including a sweep at the hands of the Columbus Clippers over the weekend. The good news is that 1B Andy Tracy is back after missing a lot of time on the DL. Tracy came back on Thursday night and made an impact right away after struggling prior to his time on the DL. In the four game series at Columbus, Tracy hit .500, drove in nine, scored four times, hit three home runs, and walked seven times. The other good news is that all the games have been close so if everybody starts hitting, the Pigs will start winning. Lehigh Valley plays a bad Charlotte team at home this week which gives them a good chance to pick up some wins.
