Spencer Turnbull earns 8th win in strong outing for West Michigan Whitecaps

Indianapolis Indians 6, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box)

The Mud Hens manufactured a run in the bottom of the first to take a 1-0 lead, but that would be all the offense they could muster. The Indians took the lead with three runs in the third inning, and added a fourth run off Mud Hens starter Kyle Ryan in the fourth. Indians starter Adrian Sampson earned the win by holding Toledo to five hits in six innings, while the Indianapolis bullpen did not allow a baserunner. Josh Wilson was the only Mud Hen to reach base twice.

Erie SeaWolves 4, Akron Rubber Ducks 3 (box)

Jason Krizan hit a go-ahead two-run home run in the bottom of the third inning, and the SeaWolves were able to make an early three-run lead stand up for their 36th win of the season. Krizan's homer was part of a three-run third inning that saw the SeaWolves take a 4-1 lead. Starter Derek Hankins was solid, holding Akron to two runs on six hits in six innings, and closer Paul Voelker was able to notch his fifth save despite allowing a run in the ninth.

Bradenton Marauders 7, Lakeland Flying Tigers 2 (box)

Bradenton jumped all over Lakeland starter Kevin Ziomek, scoring six runs in the first two innings of last night's game. Ziomek exited after those two frames after allowing six hits. His defense did him no favors, though, committing two errors. Lakeland scored a pair of runs in the seventh and were threatening to cut the lead even further, but Curt Powell was thrown out at the plate on a sacrifice fly attempt to end the inning. Raph Rhymes and Drew Longley reached base twice for Lakeland.

Rhymes: 1-3, R, BB, SO
Betancourt: 1-4, R, SO
Longley: 1-2, RBI, BB, SO

West Michigan Whitecaps 4, Dayton Dragons 1 (box)

The Whitecaps jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead, scoring off Dragons starter Wyatt Strahan in the first two innings. Kade Scivicque continued a strong Midwest League debut with a pair of singles, and Rashad Brown added two hits and a stolen base of his own. Ross Kivett hit a solo home run in the fifth inning, his fourth of the season. Spencer Turnbull continued his strong work on the mound, allowing a run on five hits in 6 1/3 innings. Turnbull is 6-1 with a 2.62 ERA in his last 10 starts. Dominic Moreno worked the final 2 2/3 innings for his first save of the year.

Connecticut Tigers 4, Lowell Spinners 3 (box)

The Tigers nearly coughed up a two-run lead in the ninth, but Jake Shull was able to strand the tying run at third base for his first save of the year. The Tigers took a 2-0 lead in the third inning, then added runs in the fifth and ninth. Patrick Mackenzie reached base three times, stole a base, and scored a run to lead the Connecticut offense. Their top four hitters all drove in a run, while starter Sandy Baez allowed an unearned run in four innings. The win helped Connecticut avoid a sweep, but a recent lull has seen them drop to third place in the New York-Penn League's Stedler Division.

Mackenzie: 2-4, R, RBI, BB, SB
Fuentes: 0-2, 2 R, 2 BB
Padron: 1-4, RBI
Baez: 4.0 IP, 6 H, 1 R (0 ER), 5 SO
