Cannonballs coming: Young Pirate hitters have a good day

— Austin Meadows broke out of a slump and Jordan Luplow had a good day as Indianapolis (16-15) beat Louisville, 7-1. Meadows went 3-5 with a double, and Luplow went 2-4 with a double and his third home run. Wyatt Mathisen hit a pinch-hit home run, his first AAA longball. On top of all that, J.T. Brubaker threw six shutout innings in his AAA debut. He allowed six hits and a walk, and struck out two. (Minor caveat: Louisville is now 11-19, so it wasn’t the best opposition.)

Kevin Newman: 2-4, 2B, BB
Chris Bostick: 1-5
Kevin Kramer: 0-4, BB
Jacob Stallings: 1-5, 2B
Josh Smoker: IP, H, ER, K
Dovydas Neverauskas: IP, K
Bo Schultz, IP

— Cole Tucker went 2-5 with his first home run of the season as Altoona (17-14) edged Reading, 5-4.
