August 7, 2015

Norfolk, Va -- Keon Broxton singled home a run and scored three times to help lead the Indianapolis Indians (66-48) to a 6-5 victory over the Norfolk Tides (65-47) at Harbor Park on Friday night. Elias Diaz plated three runs to help propel the Tribe offense.

With his single and two walks, Broxton extended his consecutive on-base streak to 31 games, and it remains the longest active streak in the International League. Diaz has now driven home at least one run in five straight games, and Friday's output raised his season's total to 38. 

Brad Lincoln (5-1) came out of the bullpen and earned the win for the Indians. He worked 3 2/3 innings, conceding just one hit and fanning two. 

The Tides rallied with a run in the eighth and three in the ninth, but Blake Wood struck out Dariel Alvarez to end the game.
