Cannonballs Coming: Garcia and Hinsz both bombed

Indianapolis (34-29) was postponed.

Garcia was awful, giving up five earned runs while only recording one out in the second inning before giving way to Jared Lakind, who was also inept. On a positive note, Tate Scioneaux and Buddy Borden combined for five scoreless innings of relief. Connor Joe (.395 OPS over last 10 games) was 2-4 with a double and two RBIs. Pablo Reyes was 3-4 on the night. Kevin Newman was not in the lineup for the second consecutive game.

Both pieces of the Ivan Nova rental played a part in the outcome. Tito Polo hit a a two-run double off Hinsz in the second and Stephen Tarpley came in relief to get the win.
