The Rochester Red Wings dropped their fifth-straight game in the third game of their six-game series Wednesday night, 6-2 in Indianapolis. 3B Brady House picked up three hits in the loss, the only multi-hit performance of the night for the Red Wings offense. LF Andrew Pinckney was responsible for the lone extra-base hit, his first Triple-A triple. On the mound, LHP Garvin Alston turned in 2.2 hitless innings of relief to hold the Indians at bay.
Indianapolis 3B Malcom Nuñez worked a full-count walk with one out in the bottom of the second inning after a quiet first. Following a strikeout, DH Joshua Palacios pulled a double down the right-field line to score Nuñez and give Indianapolis a 1-0 lead. The next batter, C Jason Delay, sliced a four-seamer into right-center for a base hit and plated Palacios to make things 2-0 after two innings of play.
After five quiet innings in a row, Palacios led off the bottom of the seventh with a line drive to shallow center field for a single. The former Red Wing later stole second base and advanced to third on a groundout by Delay. RF Matt Gorski worked a walk to put runners on the corners before 2B Ji Hwan Bae loaded the bases via an intentional walk. SS Liover Peguero smoked a ball up the middle that resulted in an infield single and scored Palacios to make it 3-0.
