Andújar Ties Career-High Hitting Streak in Loss to I-Cubs
June 14, 2023 - International League (IL)
Indianapolis Indians News Release
DES MOINES, Iowa - Miguel Andújar extended hitting streak to a career-high tying 17 games, but a six-run outburst led the Iowa Cubs past the Indianapolis Indians on Wednesday afternoon at Principal Park, 8-1.
Andújar went 3-for-3 with an RBI, finishing his day a homer shy of the cycle. His eighth-inning sacrifice fly was within feet of clearing the fence for the cycle. His 17-game hitting streak is the longest streak by an Indians batter and the tied for the second-longest active streak in all of professional baseball.
Iowa (35-28) surged for six runs on six hits in the third inning off Indians reliever J.C. Flowers (L, 1-1). The inning featured four RBI singles and a sacrifice fly by major league rehabber Cody Bellinger.
The I-Cubs tacked on an insurance run in the sixth and seventh innings. Major league rehabber Edwin Rios singled in a run in the sixth and an RBI double by right fielder Darius Hill brought home Iowa's eighth and final run of the game.
Indianapolis (29-34) broke the shutout in the eighth following a leadoff double off the right-center wall from catcher Henry Davis. Davis went on to score on Andújar's deep sacrifice fly to right field.
Iowa's starting pitcher Ben Brown (W, 3-3) silenced the Indians in 6.0 innings, surrendering six hits with 11 strikeouts.
The Indians and I-Cubs will continue their six-game series on Thursday night at 7:38 PM ET at Principal Park. Southpaw Kent Emanuel (4-2, 6.28) will take the mound for Indianapolis against Iowa's right-hander Caleb Kilian (3-1, 4.94).
