Cannonballs coming: Gerrit Cole pitches 3 strong innings

-P- Indianapolis shut out Louisville, 6-0. Gerrit Cole struck out six in a three-inning rehab outing, perhaps indicating he's close to returning to big-league form. Justin Masterson also pitched four scoreless innings. Jason Rogers went 2-for-3 with a walk. Josh Bell was 1-for-5. Austin Meadows, who had been absent from Indianapolis' lineup for the past several days, was finally placed on the DL with a hamstring strain.

-P- Altoona lost 10-0 to Akron. Tyler Eppler gave up six runs, five earned, over 5.2 innings, although he struck out seven and walked two.
