The Mud Hens stayed red hot on Sunday, completely a six-game sweep over Indianapolis and racking up their 10th straight victory. With 10 games left on the calendar, the Tigers’ Triple-A affiliate is rolling as they enter the final week and a half of play.
Daniel Ponce De Leon was solid in his second start in the Tigers’ organization. The veteran right-hander tossed five innings of two-run ball, and while the bullpen leaked a pair of runs, the lead was never really in jeopardy.
The pitchers also got some help from the defense out there.
The Hens’ lineup lit up Indy from the jump due to another atrocious display of control from their pitching staff.
