Bristol gets offense and pitching in doubleheader sweep

The GCL and DSL teams don’t play on Sundays, and Bradenton’s game was suspended in the first inning.

— Indianapolis 65-54 took an early 5-0 lead over Pawtucket, but a late-inning bullpen meltdown left them with a 9-5 loss. Tyler Eppler gave up three runs over five innings. He allowed eight hits and two walks, and struck out four. Alex McRae and Jesus Liranzo combined to give up six runs in the seventh inning. McRae now has a 5.48 ERA in his last ten outings in AAA, 5.11 on the season. And, yes, that’s the guy the Pirates thought belonged in the major league bullpen.
