Scores, news, and notes from the Detroit Tigers’ farm system on Wednesday, August 31, 2016.
Even though the Tigers can’t beat the Indians, their Triple-A affiliate got the job done on Wednesday. Jordan Zimmermann threw four innings in his rehab start, allowing just one hit and an unearned run. Perhaps most encouraging of all was the fact that he struck out four Indianapolis batters against just one walk. Toledo’s offense was paced by back-to-back homers from Steven Moya and Casey McGehee in the first, as well as Dean Green’s three-hit day. Cesar Ramos pitched 3 2⁄3 innings for the win while Joe Jimenez had a clean ninth for his eighth save as a Mud Hen.
