Indianapolis Indians News Release
TOLEDO, Ohio - Behind a trio of three-RBI performances from Ryan Vilade, Malcom Nuñez and Cal Mitchell, the Indianapolis Indians clinched a series win against the Toledo Mud Hens with their fourth straight win on Saturday night at Fifth Third Field, 9-1.
The Indians (14-17) jumped on the board first in the top of the second inning thanks to back-to-back singles from first baseman Vilade and second baseman Aaron Shackelford, followed by a two-run double from Mitchell for his first of three hits on the night.
In the third, center fielder Josh Palacios extended his International League-leading hitting streak to 11 games with a single through the left side of the infield. Vilade brought him home with a mammoth home run off Toledo starter Brenan Hanifee (L, 0-1) that traveled 441 feet over to left field and left the bat at 110 mph.
Sandwiching a fourth inning single, Mitchell blasted a solo home run to right field for his third hit of the day in the sixth. Saturday marked Mitchell's fourth multi-hit game of the season, and he's now hit safely in four of his five games this series with a pair of homers.
Indianapolis capped its scoring with a four-run seventh inning, highlighted by a three-run double down the left field line for designated hitter Nuñez. The Indians piled 13 hits on the Mud Hens, six going for extra bases.
On the mound, right-hander Osvaldo Bido (W, 2-2) carved his way through five innings of two-hit, one-run ball against the Mud Hens (18-13). Bido continued the Indians starting rotation's exceptional form, as starters have combined for just one run allowed in 21.0 innings pitched during their four-game winning streak.
The Indians and Mud Hens conclude their six-game series at Fifth Third Field on Sunday afternoon at 2:05 PM ET. Left-hander Kent Emanuel (1-1, 2.45) starts for the Indians against Toledo right-hander Reese Olson (0-2, 11.20) in a pitching rematch of the series opener on Wednesday.
