Indianapolis Indians News Release

TOLEDO, Ohio -- Indians (49-33) righty Chris Volstad (5-3) made the start and took the loss in place of late-scratch Clayton Richard - who was acquired by the Chicago Cubs just prior to tonight's game - yielding a two-out triple to Mike Hessman that sent the Mud Hens (36-45) to a 4-1 victory on Friday at Fifth Third Field.

The Lafayette, Indiana native Richard went 3-1 and ranked fourth in the International League with a 1.34 ERA over his final six starts for the Indians. He finished unbeaten at home with a 2-0 record and 1.34 ERA when pitching at Victory Field, and will depart for a now-scheduled Cubs debut tomorrow night against the Miami Marlins at Wrigley Field.

Alen Hanson and Tony Sanchez both had two hits for the Tribe, while Brent Morel doubled to extend his hit streak to 10 games.

Willy Garcia scored the lone run on a sac fly by Keon Broxton.
