LHP Adam Morgan allowed just two runs over 8.2 IP as the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (69-45) snapped a three-game skid with a 7-2 win over the Rochester Red Wings (65-50) on Saturday night at Coca-Cola Park.

Morgan (6-1) gave up the two runs on three hits while walking one and fanning 11 over his 8.2 IP. The 11 strikeouts is the most by an IronPigs pitcher since Brian Gordon fanned 11 on June 6, 2011 at Charlotte. RHP Dalier Hinojosa (0.1 IP, K) got the final out for the Pigs.

A three-run first opened up an early 3-0 lead for the IronPigs as Cedric Hunter delivered the key blow in the frame with a two-run single while Andrew Knapp also came through with an RBI single in the frame. All three runs came with two outs in the inning.

In the bottom of the fourth, back-to-back solo shots from Jesmuel Valentin and Peter Bourjos off of Red Wings starter Andrew Albers to give the Pigs a 5-0 lead. The home runs were the first of the season for both players with Valentin's being the first of his Triple-A career.

Albers (9-5) allowed the five runs on eight hits while walking three in four innings of work.

Trevor Plouffe's solo shot off of Morgan with two outs in the top of the seventh broke up the perfect game and brought Rochester within 5-1.

Lehigh Valley extended the lead to 7-1 with a pair of runs in the eighth as Knapp reached on an error by Red Wings LF Adam Brett Walker and scored on Cam Perkins' (2-3, 3B, RBI, R) RBI triple before Hunter (2-4, 3 RBI) plated Perkins with an RBI single.

Rochester cut the lead to 7-2 on Plouffe's RBI double in the top of the ninth.

Darin Ruf (2-3, R) also had a multi-hit game for the Pigs.

The series wraps up on Sunday at 1:35 p.m. as RHP Ben Lively (6-4, 3.50) gets the ball for the IronPigs against Rochester LHP Jason Wheeler (9-2, 2.81).
