Indianapolis Indians News Release


LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Indianapolis Indians collected 14 hits in seven innings and rode stellar pitching to a rain-shortened win over the Louisville Bats on Saturday night at Louisville Slugger Field, 4-1.

Indianapolis starter Osvaldo Bido (W, 3-7) stole the show on the mound, putting together his best start of the season. Bido fired 6.0 innings of one-hit, shutout ball, striking out seven Bats hitters and walking just one. The only Louisville hitter to reach base against Bido was catcher Mark Kolozsvary, who doubled to lead off the sixth inning.

The Indians (66-60) jumped out to a 2-0 first-inning lead against Louisville starter Justin Nicolino (L, 3-5) thanks to five ground-ball singles, including RBI hits to left field from third baseman Kevin Padlo and right fielder Brendt Citta. Indianapolis added another run in the second inning thanks to second baseman Hoy Park's second single of the night, this time rolling a ball up the middle to plate designated hitter Carter Bins.

After knocking Nicolino out of the game, Indianapolis continued to add to its lead thanks to Park's ninth home run of the season, belting a line drive that cleared the seats in straightaway right field. Park finished the night 3-for-4 with a home run and 2 RBI, logging his second consecutive three-hit night. Citta joined Park by reaching base three times, and left fielder Blake Sabol and catcher Taylor Davis each logged multi-hit nights. Sabol has now hit safely in each of his first four games as an Indian and in 15 straight contests dating back to his time with Double-A Altoona, hitting .386 (22-for-57) over that span.

The Bats (52-76) got on the board in the seventh with a solo home run from left fielder TJ Hopkins against Indians right-hander Cody Bolton, but the grounds crew rolled the tarp onto the field at the end of the inning. After a 37-minute delay, the game was determined to be completed, finalizing the Indians victory. The Indians, who entered the game at a season-best five games over .500, won their fourth consecutive game on Saturday night in large part thanks to out-hitting the Bats 14-2.

The Indians and Bats wrap up their series on Sunday night at Slugger Field before heading to Omaha to continue their road trip, with first pitch scheduled for 6:35 PM ET. RHP Jerad Eickhoff (5-5, 4.62) gets the ball for Indianapolis, while RHP Ben Lively (2-5, 4.31) toes the rubber for Louisville for the second time this week.
