Whitecaps win a wild one in extras
Indianapolis Indians 7, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) Lael Lockhart Jr. had a tough outing and only a late rally kept this from looking like a beatdown in the box score. The left-hander’s high-80’s fastball has zero room for error against better hitters and Indy proved it out by launching a pair of home runs and racking up five runs over 6 2⁄3 innings. Lockhart Jr. has the secondary stuff to get whiffs but he has to be precise overall and just didn’t have good command in this one. Still, a depleted pitching staff needs help as the Tigers will have to draw even more innings from the Hens in the next few weeks. Lockhart Jr. did succeed in saving the bullpen, stretching out to a season high 110 pitches.
