A look at Sundayโs minor-league action within the Pirates' system ...
INDIANAPOLIS (20-22) split a double header of seven-inning games against Toledo. Toledo won Game 1, 10-1, and Indianapolis took Game 2, 5-4.
In Game 1, Domingo German allowed six runs (four earned) on eight hits (two home runs) in five innings of work. He struck out three and walked two. German was transferred to Indianapolis Sunday after making one start in Bradenton. Henry Davis and Jake Lamb had doubles for the Indians, which posted just five hits total.
In Game 2, Liover Peguero singled a run with the bases loaded and Matt Gorski brought in a run with a sacrifice fly to give the Indians a 5-3 lead in the sixth. Toledo's Riley Unroe doubled in a run with two outs in the top of the seventh, but Indians reliever Brady Feigel rebounded to strike out Akil Baddoo looking to end the game.
Gorski hit a two-run home run in the second inning of Game 2:
