Two night games tonight. Altoona has three games left on their schedule. Carmen Mlodzinski gets the start, trying to end a rough season on a high note, though I wouldn’t rule out him getting more innings with Indianapolis. The Indians play another nine games after Altoona’s season ends. Domingo Gonzalez has joined Altoona from Greensboro, where he had a 4.96 ERA, a 1.39 WHIP and 99 strikeouts in 101 innings. He has a 2.44 ERA and a .208 BAA in 44.1 innings since July 1st.
