Indianapolis Indians News Release
Durham, N.C. -- Wilfredo Boscan pitched six shutout innings as the Indianapolis Indians (64-47) cruised to a 5-1 victory over the Durham Bulls (53-57) Tuesday night at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
Elias Diaz drove in two runs and Keon Broxton reached base twice to stretch his on-base streak to 28 consecutive games in the win. Broxton's streak is the longest for the Tribe since 2009 and ranks second in the International League behind only former Tribe MVP Matt Hague (37 games).
Boscan (8-3) earned his fourth straight victory to gain a share of the team lead with eight total wins on the season. The right-hander is unbeaten since June 22.
The Indians struck early when Willy Garcia singled home Diaz in the top of the first inning. Diaz and Broxton drove home runs in the third to expand the lead, and Gorkys Hernandez capped the scoring when he plated Tony Sanchez in the ninth.
