Double-A Altoona capped off their 2022 season with a loss and more from Sunday’s Pittsburgh Pirates minor league roundup

Lefty Joe Jaques allowed three hits, walked a batter and struck out two in 2 scoreless innings pitched. The recently DFA’d Dillon Peters allowed a run on two walks in 1.1 hitless innings pitched.

Hunter Stratton pitched 2 innings, allowing a run on two hits, a walk and a pair of strikeouts. Cam Alldred then finished things off for the Indians, walking three and striking a batter out in 2.2 scoreless innings pitched lowering his ERA on the season to 3.53.
