Some struggling hitters came through tonight, but Matt Gorski didn’t go deep. Bradenton was rained out and will try to play two tomorrow.
TRIPLE-A: INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS
Game Time: 7:05pm

Game Recap:
Indianapolis (20-18) beat Toledo, 5-2. Travis Swaggerty had a much-needed sort of day, with a triple and his second longball of the year. That added 95 point to his OPS. Ji-Hwan Bae had three hits, including his fourth home run. Mason Martin added a two-run shot, his seventh homer. Kevin Newman continued his rehab as DH, hitting a double in three times up. Canaan Smith-Njigba also had a double. Cole Tucker’s apparent slide into obscurity continued, as he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. Trey McGough had the sort of start you don’t see much any more, throwing four shutout innings with no walks or strikeouts. Cam Alldred followed with two shutout innings and Yerry De Los Santos retired six straight for the save, striking out half of them. In between, Aaron Fletcher gave up the two runs, which is fitting if you recall what happened in the Pirates’ game tonight.
