The Detroit Tigers recalled scheduled Toledo (15-7) starter
Toledo would not go quietly, and the Hens plated a pair in both the first and third innings to cut the Tribe lead to one.
Indianapolis immediately answered with four in the fourth. Osuna knocked in the first run with a single before two outs were recorded. Wood stepped up to the plate with the Tribe at risk of leaving two more runners aboard, but Wood lined a homer off signage well beyond the left-field wall for his first home run of the season to expand Indy's lead to 9-4.
Osuna added his third home run of the season in the eighth to pad the Tribe's lead. Toledo scored three in the eighth but inched no closer.
