Cannonballs coming: Cam Vieaux continues strong run for Altoona

— Indianapolis (44-37) broke a 1-1 tie with six runs in the top of the eighth and went on to beat Louisville, 7-1. Alex McRae gave up seven hits and two walks over five and two-thirds innings, but only one run. He struck out five. Sean Rodriguez started his rehab, playing third and going 2-4 with a double, so his ability to rack up veteranly strikeouts isn’t far away from returning. Kevin Kramer was 2-3 with two walks.

Kevin Newman: 1-5, 2B
Adam Frazier: 0-3, BB
Jordan Luplow: 1-5
Jason Martin: 0-3
Josh Smoker: 2 IP, H, K
