Pitcher of the Week: Dustin Molleken, Lynchburg

Indianapolis (2-3) For the Week

The Indians only got in five games this week due to the schedule and the weather. Garrett Jones made the most of those five games as he had 6 hits, 2 home runs, and 11 RBI, as he continues to learn the outfield. Jeff Salazar had 5 hit, 2 of those home runs, and Steve Pearce had 5 hits, 4 RBI, and 2 HR. Neil Walker had a 1 home run this week, and Andrew McCutchen has cooled a bit, though he did have a day off, with only 3 hits.

Virgil Vasquez went 6 innings, allowing only 3 to pick up a win this week. Daniel McCutchen gave up 5 runs in a loss, as did Ty Taubenheim. Juan Mateo and Chris Bootcheck were both effective, neither giving up a run, as the pitched 2 and 3.1 innings respectively.

Altoona: (3-3) For the Week

Some of the Curve bats came alive this week, and good thing since Jose Tabata is going to be missing some time. Jim Negrych had 7 hits, as did fellow infielder Pedro Lopez. Jason Delaney, back with the Curve, had 6 hits and 7 RBI. Steve Lerud came to life this week with 5 hits and 5 RBI, and before getting hurt, Tabata had five hits.

In one start this week, Brad Lincoln went five innings, striking out only 2, and giving up 3 runs for another loss. Tony Watson threw 4 scoreless for a no decision and Danny Moskos went 6.1, giving up 4 earned. The lack of strikeouts from those three guys is not all that promising. Jeff Sues gave up 2 runs in 4 innings and Yoslan Herrera, Eric Krebs, and Jean Machi all picked up wins in relief.

Lynchburg: (3-3) For the Week

At Lynchburg, Ray Chang led the way with 7 hits and Kris Watts continued his hot hitting with 6 hits and 4 RBI. Alex Presley had 5 hits and Pedro Alvarez had only 4 hits, one a home run, and three RBI. Jordy Mercer had 3 hits and a home run as well.

Chi-Hung Cheng pitched 6 innings in his start this week, allowing 2 runs, to pick up a win. Aussie Paul Mildren threw 10 innings in 2 starts, striking out five between the two, to get a win an a loss. Justin Wilson gave up 4 runs in a loss this week. Michael Dubee pitched a scoreless inning, striking out the side, and closer RJ Rodriguez picked up 2 saves this week. Dustin Molleken pitched five scoreless in relief, striking out 7 to pick up a win.

West Virginia: (2-5) For the Week

The hit leader for the week, apparently he is getting comfortable, was Robbie Grossman. He had 9 hits this week. Calvin Anderson is more than comfortable as he had 8 hits, 1 HR, and 5 RBI. Chase D'Arnaud had 8 hits and 4 RBI, to go with his own HR.

Rudy Owens gutted out a 6 inning start to pick up a win this week. Brian Leach picked up the other win this week. Owen Brolsma threw two scoreless, as did Eduardo Pena. Tyler Cox, if anything consistent, lost two starts this week. Yoffri Martinez lost two in relief.
