The Mud Hens dropped two of three over the weekend to lose the series 4-2 against Indianapolis. In the process, their playoff hopes were dashed. There are still 12 games left on their regular season schedule, but the postseason is no longer even marginally within reach.
On the plus side, Keider Montero continues to settle in after a somewhat aggressive move up to Triple-A in August. On Friday, he allowed two runs over six innings of work. Montero gave up four hits, one a solo shot to Nick Gonzales in the first, walked four, but struck out eight along the way.
