TRIBE NOTES
SEVEN STRAIGHT FOR CB: Christopher Bostick has hit safely in each of his last seven games. He’s batting .321 (9-for-28) during the stretch with four doubles, five RBI and two runs scored. His career-high hitting streak is 16 games, a stretch that ran from June 15-July 4, 2013 while he was with Single-A Beloit in the Athletics farm system.
1-0, AGAIN: Last night’s 1-0 score matched Friday night’s final score of 1-0, both in favor of the RailRiders. Indianapolis has now been shut out four times this season (1-0 [11] vs. COL, 2-0 vs. COL, 1-0 vs. SWB and 1-0 vs. SWB). Last year, the Indians were blanked 14 times — five of those defeats were 1-0 margins.
A LITTLE HELP HERE, PLEASE: After beginning the season 2-0, Indianapolis has dropped 12 of its last 14 games. Over the last six games, Indians starters have tossed exactly 6.0 innings in each outing, accumulating a 2.00 ERA (8 ER in 36.0 IP) along the way. The Indians are 1-5 in those games.
MEADOWS ON BASE: Austin Meadows has reached base in 10 consecutive games dating back to April 12 vs. Columbus. The 21-year-old outfielder has raised his average from .048 to .196 during the stretch, while his on-base percentage has gone from .150 to .270. He has hit safely in four straight games and eight of his last nine overall.
