INDIANAPOLIS – Cam Alldred impressed with four one-run innings in his fourth spot-start of 2023, but the Indianapolis Indians could not overcome three late-inning runs by the Toledo Mud Hens in a Thursday night loss at Victory Field, 4-1.
The Mud Hens (24-29) took an early lead in the second inning via an RBI single off the bat of nine-hitter Jermaine Palacios. The advantage didn’t last long, however, and Indianapolis (25-28) tied the game with an RBI single by Jared Triolo in the third.
A two-out double by Palacios in the seventh inning marked Toledo’s first extra-base hit of the game and resulted in the go-ahead run crossing home plate against John O’Reilly (L, 0-3). Two pitches later, Justyn-Henry Malloy drove him in with a line-drive single to center field. The Mud Hens then tacked on two more runs via a Michael Papierski two-run double in the eighth.
Chavez Fernander (W, 1-0) was the second of four Mud Hens relievers that held Indianapolis without a run past the third inning. Aneurys Zabala (S, 1) closed out the contest.
The Indians will look to extend their series lead against the Mud Hens to 3-1 tomorrow night with RHP Quinn Priester (5-3, 4.96) on the mound in a 7:05 PM first pitch. Toledo hasn’t named a starter for the contest.
