Cannonballs coming: 3 hits for Cole Tucker

--Indianapolis (27-27) defeated Scranton Wilkes-Barre 7-3 as Tyler Eppler pitched 6 innings allowing 3 runs(2 earned) with 3 walks to go along with 4 Ks. After falling behind 2-0 in the first, Chris Bostick got Indy on the board with a solo homer. Indy exploded for 5 runs in the second as Ryan Lavarnway hit a 2 run homer which was followed by a Max Moroff 2 run double. Jordan Luplow then doubled home Max Moroff for the 5th run of the inning. Eric Wood hit a solo homer(6) in the 3rd to give Indianapolis a 7-2 lead. Jesus Liranzo, Bo Schultz, and Dovydas Neverauskas all pitched a scoreless inning in relief. Neverauskas has doubled his strikeout percentage from 2017(currently 36%). It is also worth noting that Eppler has put together a very solid year so far. In the appearances I’ve seen he has often struck me as too hittable but he has pitched nearly 60 innings so far this year with an ERA, FIP and xFIP all near 3.
