Jack Suwinski opened the scoring for the Indians (34-27) in the first with an RBI single to drive in Matt Fraizer, who reached on a lead-off walk before swiping second and third to set up the run. Indy added a trio of runs in the third when Liover Peguero, DJ Stewart and Shawn Ross each smacked doubles and Frazier brought Ross around to score with an RBI single of his own. Indy capped its scoring with a pair of runs in the fifth as Suwinski tripled and scored on a double from Darick Hall, who scored Indy’s sixth run on a DJ Stewart single.
Indy held Memphis (34-27) scoreless until the ninth, when they rallied to plate two runs with two outs, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit. Righty Zach Plesac (L, 0-1) took the loss for Memphis in his season debut. Harrington (W, 3-6) allowed just two hits and no runs across 6.0 innings, marking his first scoreless start since Aug. 17, 2024, vs. St. Paul.
