Cannonballs coming: Mitchell, Valerio key wins with three-run HRs

Indianapolis was off.

— Altoona (7-5) beat Akron in ten innings, 2-1. The Curve got seven shutout innings from Dario Agrazal. It was a representative Agrazal start; he didn’t dominate, striking out only three, but he walked just one, allowed four hits and needed just 79 pitches. He left with the score 1-0, but Geoff Hartlieb gave up the tying run in the eighth. Cole Tucker, who went 1-4 with a walk, drove in the faux run in the tenth with an infield hit off Jordan Milbrath. Yeudy Garcia then got a one-out strikeout with the tying run on third in the bottom half of the inning and earned the save.
