The Indians exploded for seven runs in the 9th inning and got a decisive win over the Louisville Bats. Starling Marte went 2/5 and hit a grand slam. Alex Presley and Jordy Mercer also added home runs. There's a good chance we'll see all three of those guys in the big leagues this year. Jeff Larish, Jeff Clement, Anderson Hernandez, and Mercer all had two hit games. Jeff Locke went 6.1 innings and gave up three earned runs on four hits. He struck out 11 and continues to impress.
AA Altoona | Bowie 4 Altoona 2
Tony Sanchez had a two hit game including a double and an RBI but couldn't do enough at the plate to help his team win as the Curve dropped another game to the Bowie Baysox. Matt McSwain made a pretty good start going seven innings and giving up just four runs (three earned). Logan Kensing pitched a scoreless inning but the Curve couldn't give them enough run support to win the game.

Jameson Taillon couldn't get out of the fourth inning and gave up five runs on three hits including a home run. He walked three and struck out five. Jason Townsend, Jhonathan Ramos, and Quinton Miller did a good job in relief, not allowing any runs. The offense didn't provide many runs. Andy Vasquez had two hits, Dan Grovatt had three, and Alex Dickerson added a single of his own. The team had nine hits on the day but couldn't bunch them together getting only three runs.
