Game Recap:
Indianapolis lost a 4-2 lead late in the game, ruining a great start by Luis Ortiz, who was making his second Triple-A start. Ortiz did not do well in his first outing with Indianapolis, giving up four runs in four innings. This game saw him allow two runners on no hits and two walks in six innings. He gave up two runs, but both were unearned. He struck out nine batters. John O’Reilly tossed a scoreless seventh before allowing three runs in the eighth for the loss. The Indians scored a run in the sixth on a Bligh Madris single. Mason Martin hit a solo homer in the seventh, his 17th of the season, as part of a three-hit night. Ji-hwan Bae brought in a run with his 20th double. Blake Sabol hit a solo homer, his second for Indianapolis. The Indians had one walk and 12 strikeouts, with all nine starters contributing to the air show. (UPDATE: At some point after the game was over, a hit in the boxscore attributed to Ortiz’s line was changed to a fielder’s choice, switching this to six no-hit innings)

Game Recap:
Altoona saw the return of Matt Gorski, but they lost a one-sided affair to Erie by a 9-2 score. Kyle Nicolas started and gave up two runs over three innings while running up his pitch count (68) to shorten his night. Enmanuel Mejia was out next and he gave up five runs while recording just one out. Brad Case settled things down with 2.2 scoreless, before an error led to two unearned runs against Bear Bellomy. Gorski had a 1-for-5 night in his first game with Altoona in over two months. Both Curve runs scored on a throwing error by the Erie catcher, trying to pick a runner off of third base. Connor Scott had two hits, including his 23rd double.

Greensboro had a rough night, losing 11-2. Starter Ricky DeVito gave up seven runs in three innings. The offense didn’t score until it was already 11-0, which was also how many strikeouts they had compared to walks on the night. Both runs scored in the eighth on Jackson Glenn’s 16th double.
