Roansy Contreras started his rehab from manipulation discomfort with two innings. Carmen Mlodzinski, Nick Garcia and Anthony Solometo had rough outings, although Garcia salvaged his to some extent. Endy Rodriguez went deep, of course, and Jack Suwinski slammed Toledo.

Game Recap:
Indianapolis (44-47) got a grand slam from Jack Suwinski four batters into the game, then did little else on offense in a 5-4 win over Toledo. After Indy’s first three batters reached, Suwinski belted his third AAA home run of the season, and 20th of the season covering three different levels. Following that blast, Indy had only three more hits the rest of the game. Mason Martin had two of those, including his 15th homer of the year, which accounted for the winning run.

Notable Performances:
- Jacob Gonzalez 2-5
- Endy Rodriguez 1-2, HR (15), BB, HBP
- Yoyner Fajardo 2-5, HR (6), SB
- Ernny Ordonez 3-4, HR (12), BB
Game Recap:
Greensboro (39-50) beat Winston-Salem on a walkoff, three-run home run by Ernny Ordonez in the bottom of the tenth. Starter Nick Garcia had a bad second inning, giving up a pair of two-run home runs, but he ended up going six and not allowing anything else. Endy Rodriguez got the Hoppers started back with his 15th home run on the year, and fifth in three games. He also walked twice and was hit by a pitch, and scored three times. Yoyner Fajardo had two hits, including his sixth longball, and Jacob Gonzalez also had two hits. Ordonez finished with three hits. The Hoppers tied the game on a two-run error in the eighth, then somehow survived the top of the tenth with only the free runner scoring. Oliver Mateo threw two wild pitches to let that run in, then gave up a walk and two hit batsmen, with a balk thrown in for good measure. Logan Hofmann came on with the bases loaded and nobody out, but Winston-Salem obliged with a TOOTBLAN to wipe out one runner. Hofmann then escaped the inning, setting the stage for Ordonez’ winner with one out in the bottom half, his 12th home run of the season.

Other than Hader Blanco, who stranded two inherited runners and worked a scoreless inning and two-thirds, the bullpen wasn’t very effective. Luis Joseph gave up three runs to take the loss. Kelvin Diaz and Delfin Ramirez each had a single and a double, and Diaz stole his 12th base. Daje Morales and Richard Ramirez each walked twice, as the team drew seven free passes.
