The Rochester series didn’t end particularly well over the weekend, and then they proceeded to lose a Memorial Day matchup at the Indianapolis Indians to open this week’s series. Kerry Carpenter’s rehab didn’t start off well as he went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts on Friday. He was off on Saturday, but on Sunday he did have a single and walk, scoring a run in the losing effort. Carpenter added a single and a walk on Monday with a run scored as well.
On Friday, right-hander Reese Olson spun a great game, continuing his recent roll. Olson’s fastball command was sharp and apart from surrendering a solo shot in the third inning to old friend Derek Hill, the Red Wings couldn’t touch him.
