Lehigh Valley and Reading struggled, Clearwater was rained out again, and Lakewood swept a doubleheader.

Here's a rundown of the Phillies farm system from Sunday…

INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE (AAA)

Pawtucket 1, Lehigh Valley 0: The IronPigs managed just three hits Sunday, getting blanked by the Red Sox a day after they took both ends of a doubleheader.

Pawtucket starter William Cuevas held Lehigh Valley scoreless for seven innings. The righthander (2-2) struck out six, allowing only two hits and two walks. RH Brandon Workman (S, 1) took over for the final two innings and completed the shutout.

RH Enyel De Los Santos pitched six solid innings in the start for Lehigh Valley, but the lone run he allowed to cross the plate in the first inning came back to bite the IronPigs.

After giving up a lead-off single to CF Tzu-Wei Lei, De Los Santos walked the next two batters to load the bases. Then, Pawtucket 1B Sam Travis hit a sacrifice fly to score Lin from third.

Lehigh Valley (28-20) will conclude its five-game series with Pawtucket (20-27) on Monday at 1:35 p.m.
