— Yesterday, Casey Sadler pitched well after struggling so far this year. Today it was Alex McRae’s turn, but Indianapolis (13-12) lost to Gwinnett, 4-3. McRae dominated through six innings, then gave up a walk and a home run to start the seventh. He exited after six and a third and was charged with the two runs on four hits and a walk. He struck out five. McRae left with a 3-2 lead, but Dovydas Neverauskas blew the game in the eighth. Kevin Kramer hit his third home run and Jose Osuna went 2-4 with a double.
