Pacheco and Peck go yard in Erie win, Ben Jacobs deals for Whitecaps

Toledo Mud Hens 3, Indianapolis Indians 2 (F/7)( box )(Gm1) Sawyer Gipson-Long put together his best outing since coming off the injured list, and the bullpen did a nice job holding down Indy in Game 1 on Wednesday. The right-hander tossed 3 2/3 innings of one-hit ball with two walks against six strikeouts. Still no sign of steady 94 mph velo though.

The Hens opened the scoring in the bottom of the fourth when Jace Jung and Max Anderson started the inning with singles. With one out, Tyler Gentry reached on an error and a sac fly from Cal Stevenson made it 1-0. Nick Sandlin allowed Indianapolis to tie it up in the fifth, and then Beau Brieske allowed a solo shot in the sixth.

In the bottom half, Corey Julks answered back with a solo shot to tie the game 2-2. Brenan Hanifee and Woo-Suk Go locked down the Indians the rest of the way while we got a look at former Tigers’ pitcher and 2015 Beau Burrows in the seventh. Go kept the runner on second from scoring in the top of the eighth, and a Tyler Gentry single walked this one off.

Malgeri: 2-4, 2B, 2 K Jung: 1-3, 2 R, BB, K Gipson-Long: 3. 2 IP, 0 R, H, 2 BB, 6 K Indianapolis Indians 3, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (F/7)( box )(Gm2) On a bullpen day for Game 2, Konnor Pilkington started things off but allowed three runs in the first two innings, and that’s all it took. The Hens got on the board in the bottom of the third when Max Burt led off with a double.
