The Indians tacked on two insurance runs in the second inning when Tsung-Che Cheng bunted for a hit and Rodríguez launched the first home run of his rehab assignment, a two-run blast to put Indy up 6-0.
Indianapolis staved off a comeback as the Bats (19-24) scored three runs in the fourth inning and a fourth run in the fifth.
Starting pitcher Thomas Harrington (W, 2-3) struck out a season-high eight batters across 5.2 innings, allowing all four Bats runs. Isaac Mattson (S, 4) recorded the final four outs.
In Game 2, the Bats went up 2-0 on an Edwin Ríos first-inning homer before Indy scored eight unanswered runs to take command. Cheng put the Indians on the board in the second inning with a bases-loaded walk. Yorke followed with a two-run, go-ahead single for a 3-2 advantage and Peguero tacked on an RBI single to extend the lead, 4-2.
Indianapolis posted another four runs in the following frame. Cheng kicked off the scoring again with a sacrifice fly and Suwinski later hit a bases-clearing double to extend the lead, 8-2.
Mike Burrows (W, 2-1) earned his second win in as many starts, recording five strikeouts in as many innings. Adam Plutko (L, 0-2) tossed just 1.1 innings, allowing four runs in his second loss of the campaign.
The six-game series concludes tomorrow at 1:35 PM as right-hander Bubba Chandler (2-1, 1.91) takes the mound for the Indians against Louisville right-hander Aaron Wilkerson (3-1, 4.50).
