Game Notes: Stolmy Pimentel had an 0.69 ERA in his first two starts with Indianapolis before struggling tonight. He started off looking like an ace in his first several starts with Altoona, then struggled for about five starts before getting back on track. He’s got the stuff to be a top of the rotation starter, but his lack of consistency makes him more of a strong number four starter or a weak rotation’s number three. Vic Black made his second appearance since returning from a month-long absence on the DL. He pitched tonight on two days of rest. Andrew Lambo now has a .317/.397/.698 line in 63 at-bats with Indianapolis, along with six homers.
