Game Recap:
Indianapolis (30-27) fell behind Columbus, 5-1, but exploded for nine runs in the third innings and went on to win, 12-7. On offense, a good time was had by all. Oneil Cruz scored and drove in three runs, and had a single and a triple. Canaan Smith-Njigba and Hoy Park each had three hits; Smith-Njigba doubled and tripled. Bligh Madris had a double and a triple. He’s now batting 295/384/523 overall and has a 1.337 OPS in June. Too bad the NL’s worst offense can’t afford to add him. Ji-Hwan Bae also had two hits. Blake Weiman made his first career start, although it was more of an opener thing. He gave up three runs in two innings. Heath Hembree got back into form, allowing two runs in his one inning. Nick Mears worked a 1-2-3 inning with two strikeouts. Cam Alldred gave up an unearned run over two innings and Cristofer Melendez allowed a run in one inning.

- Andres Alvarez 1-3, HR (10), BB
- Joe Jacques 2 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
Game Recap:
Altoona (27-29) beat Reading, 5-2. Carmen Mlodzinski gave up just two hits and two walks, and the only run was unearned, scoring on a passed ball by Henry Davis. The start was a little more of a mixed bag than it seems, as Mlodzinski threw only 44 of 84 pitches for strikes. Joe Jacques worked two scoreless and hitless innings. Tahnaj Thomas threw the last two, giving up a run while fanning four. Liover Peguero and Aaron Shackelford led the offense. Peguero had a single, double and his fifth home run of the year. Shackelford had a triple and his ninth home run, and drove in three. Shackelford’s now batting 254/301/514, and he’s clobbering lefties. Andres Alvarez also went deep, his tenth. Matt Gorski had a double and Davis went 0-for-4.
