All Hands on Deck: Keller continues to dominate Triple-A on a perfect night on the farm

Three teams did have the day off, but the other six all claimed victories.

Mitch Keller (6-1, 2.89), in his first start since being returned to the minors, scattered six hits and no walks on seven and a third innings, while striking out six. 60 of his 93 pitches went for strikes.

Louisville’s only run came on a solo home run by #3 hitter Josh VanMeter (352/432/711) in the fourth inning, his 13th. Scooter Gennett was 2-for-4 in a rehab appearance.

The Indians only had six hits, but got a pair of runs in the second when C Steve Baron hit his second homer of the year, driving in 1B Will Craig (263/346/492), who had reached on an error.
