Matt Morris Report: Curve rotation continues wizardry

-- Indianapolis had a pretty miserable game, totaling twice as many errors (4) as hits (2), striking out eleven times and getting blanked by Toledo, 6-0.  Adrian Sampson struggled a little, giving up four runs, three earned, over six innings.  He allowed six hits, walked two and fanned seven, and took 100 pitches to get through the 6th.  John Holdzkom struggled again, allowing two runs on a walk, a hit and a hit batsman in one inning.  He threw only eight of 18 pitches for strikes.  Steve Lombardozzi and Elias Diaz had the only hits.

-- Altoona's amazing run of starting pitching continued in an 8-2 drubbing of Erie.
