Altoona was off.
— Tyler Eppler didn’t have his best game in Indianapolis’ (16-18) 5-4 loss to Columbus. Eppler gave up four runs on eight hits, but still lasted six innings. He walked two and struck out four. Meanwhile, one of the more interesting questions continues to be, If Alen Hanson isn’t good enough to play in the major leagues, why is Chris Bostick still in AAA? (Edgar Santana and Dovydas Neverauskas would like to chime in here, too.) Bostick had, for him, a rather pedestrian game, going 2-5 with a double. He’s batting .357.

Max Moroff: 1-3, 2B, 2 BB

Starter Pedro Vasquez allowed two runs in six innings on five hits and a walk. He fanned seven. Casey Sadler pitched in a game for the first time since June 2015, throwing a 1-2-3 inning with one strikeout.

— West Virginia (17-20) lost to Charleston, 4-1. Blake Cederlind started but remains on a tight pitch count. He threw three hitless and scoreless innings, walking two and fanning four. The Power managed only five hits, going 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position.
