Kingham gave up three runs on seven hits in six innings. He walked three and struck out three. The Indians had only six hits, including Pablo Reyes’ first AAA home run.

They’re third from last in the Eastern League in slugging, next-to-last in OBP and last in HRs. Jason Martin, as usual, showed the most signs of life, going 2-4.
