Cannonballs coming: Tito Polo!

-- Four Indianapolis (27-24) pitchers threw eight and one-third hitless innings in a 2-0 win over Rochester.  Tyler Glasnow had a good news, bad news start.  He threw five hitless innings, leaving after a rain delay of over two hours.  The bad news was that Glasnow walked four, struck out only three, and threw only 38 of 74 pitches for strikes.  Cory Luebke took over after the delay, retiring six straight, five on strikes.  Trey Haley then struck out the side in the eighth.  Jorge Rondon got one out in the ninth before allowing two singles.  The next hitter flied out to Willy Garcia in right and Garcia threw out the runner trying to advance from second to third, ending the game.  The Indians had only three hits themselves, with Adam Frazier, who was 1-3, and Danny Ortiz each doubling in a run.  Others:

Alen Hanson:  0-3, BB
Max Moroff:  0-3
Josh Bell:  0-3
Jason Rogers:  1-3, 3B

-- Altoona (29-22) also got a good news, bad news start, this one from Cody Dickson, in a 2-0 win over Akron.  Dickson also threw five shutout innings, allowing five hits, but he walked four and threw just 45 of 91 pitches for strikes.  He struck out three.  The bullpen walked another four, but allowed no hits and preserved the shutout.  The Curve had six hits, including Eric Wood's fifth HR.  Others:

Harold Ramirez:  0-3, BB
Erich Weiss:  1-4
Austin Meadows:  1-4, 3B
Reese McGuire:  1-4, 2B
Barrett Barnes:  0-4
Josh Smith:  2 IP, BB, 4 K

-- Stephen Tarpley had a rough start as Bradenton (28-24) lost to Palm Beach, 7-3.  Tarpley took 80 pitches to get through four innings, allowing five runs on eight hits.  He walked one and struck out four.  Tate Scioneaux also ran into problems, giving up two runs in two innings on three hits.  He struck out one.  Pablo Reyes and Jordan Luplow each went 2-4 and Jerrick Suiter hit his second HR.  Others:

Cole Tucker:  1-4, 2B
Connor Joe:  0-3, BB
Luis Heredia:  IP, H

-- Tito Polo! had two doubles and two HRs, and both scored and drove in four runs, in a wild, 19-7 West Virginia (28-24) stomping of Lexington.  Polo had a HR and a double in the Power's seven-run first inning, and finished 4-5 with a walk.  He's now hitting 318/386/553 with eight HRs, two more than anybody else in the system.  Since the beginning of May, Polo is hitting 340/407/629.  Carlos Munoz also had a big day, driving in seven runs with a single, a double and a three-run HR in five at-bats.  The HR was his third.  Logan Hill hit a three-run shot in the first, his first HR since moving down from Bradenton, but he also struck out four times.  Starter Logan Sendelbach managed to get through seven innings despite giving up six runs, four earned, on nine hits.  He walked none and struck out seven.  Others:

Mitchell Tolman:  3-5, BB, 4 runs
Ke'Bryan Hayes:  3-5, 2B, BB
Daniel Arribas:  1-2, 2 BB

As a side note, Pirates Prospects is reporting (sub. req'd) that Gage Hinsz will start for the Power on Friday.  Hinsz was the "other" above-slot prep pitcher in the team's 2014 draft, besides Mitch Keller and the since-traded Trey Supak.  The article states that Hinsz' stuff appears to have taken a step forward in extended spring training this year.
