It was a brilliant day for the Pittsburgh Pirates Triple-A affiliate. Heading into the seventh inning, the Indians had themselves a combined no-hitter.
By the combined efforts of Max Kranick (3.0 IP), Cam Alldred (2.0 IP), and Duane Underwood Jr. (1.0 IP), the Indians were no hitting Omaha.
Osvaldo Bido allowed a hit in the seventh inning after issuing a leadoff walk, but the Indians won after allowing just two hits.
Unfortunately for the Pirates Double-A affiliate in Altoona, their winning streak halted at seven games. The Curve would’ve been shut out if it weren’t for Eli Wilson’s ninth-inning RBI double.
Let’s take a look at all of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ minor league action.
SS Chris Owings
LF Canaan Smith-Njigba
The Indians took game three against Omaha 4-1. Until the seventh inning, the Indians were pitching a combined no-hitter until Osvaldo Bido gave up a single to Clay Dugan.
In addition, Max Kranick made another start and had a solid three innings of work. Kranick allowed no hits, no runs, one walk, and struck out one.
Chris Owings had a monster game, giving the Indians half of their run support with a two-run homer in the ninth inning. In addition, Canaan Smith-Njigba had an RBI on a single in the fifth inning.
RHP Noe Toribio
C Eli Wilson
All good things must end, and the Altoona Curve’s seven-game winning streak halted after a brutal 7-1 loss to the Akron Rubber Ducks.
Eli Wilson prevented the shutout in the ninth inning after an RBI double, but that’s all the offense the Curve could muster. In addition, five out of the nine Curve hitters did not record a hit.
