Game Recap:
Quinn Priester’s first start of the season was . . . well, awful and Indy dropped its fourth straight, 7-2, to Louisville. Priester was fine for two innings, but started in the third he just got bombed. He left with two out in the fourth, with six runs in and two on base, both of whom John O’Reilly stranded.
The bullpen got perfect innings from Angel Perdomo and Carmen Mlodzinski. Colin Selby struggled again, hitting one, walking one and throwing only seven of 15 pitches for strikes, but he allowed only one run.
The offense showed up for only two at-bats. Tucupita Marcano and Chris Owings hit back-to-back home runs in the third, and that was it except for a single by Marcano and a walk. Nick Gonzales fanned three times.
