Indy’s (19-17) pitching held strong otherwise, as Nick Dombkowski, Kyle Nicolas and Isaac Mattson combined for 4.1 innings of scoreless and hitless relief with seven strikeouts. Southpaw Parker Messick (W, 2-1) took the victory for Columbus (16-19) as he struck out nine Indians in 5.0 innings.
Nick Solak picked up multiple hits in a game for the eight time this season while Major League rehabber Spencer Horwitz tallied his second multi-hit game of his rehab stint.
