TRIBE NOTES

DOUBLE-DIGIT STREAK FOR CB: Christopher Bostick has hit safely in each of his last 10 games after collecting hits in each game of yesterday’s doubleheader at Pawtucket. He’s batting .350 (14-for-40) during the stretch with four doubles, a home run, six RBI and five 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. Last year, Alen Hanson and Josh Bell both notched team-best 14-game hitting streaks.

MEADOWS STREAKING: Austin Meadows has reached base in 13 consecutive games dating back to April 12 vs. Columbus. The 21-year-old outfielder has raised his average from .048 to .221 during the stretch, while his on-base percentage has gone from .150 to .280. He has hit safely in seven straight games and 11 of his last 12 overall. During his seven-game hitting streak, he’s batting .333 (9-for-27) with a double, two RBI, one walk, two strikeouts and a stolen base.

BRAULT BUILDING CONFIDENCE: Tonight’s starter, Steven Brault, was at his best last Friday against Scranton/W-B, allowing one earned run on five hits over 6.0 innings. He fanned a season-high nine batters and walked a season-low one, but still drew the short end of the stick in a 1-0 loss to the RailRiders.

BAD LUCK: Over the last two years, the Indians own a 4-15 record in the 19 games that Steven Brault has started. Last year, they went 3-12 in games where he took the mound.
