INDIANAPOLIS - Adam Rosales dumped a single into left-center field with one away in the 10th inning to score Connor Marabell, giving Columbus the decisive run in a 4-3 Indians loss on Tuesday night. Jose Osuna had three of Indy's nine hits in the defeat.

Columbus (68-59) won for just the third time in 10 games at Victory Field this season and needed an extra inning to make it happen. Alex McRae (L, 3-10) started the frame and struck out Eric Haase before Rosales' go-ahead knock. He issued a walk two batters later leading to his removal from the game, and Jerrick Suiter picked up Damien Magnifico - who allowed a single to Joe Sever - by hosing Rosales at the plate to keep the deficit at one.

Indianapolis' (68-59) fate was sealed by Evan Marshall (S, 2) in the home half, however, as Osuna, Jacob Stallings and Kevin Kramer were retired in order.

Josh Martin (W, 4-0) tossed two shutout innings to maintain his perfect record.

The Clippers broke a scoreless tie without recording a hit in the fourth inning. Mitch Keller issued back-to-back, one-out walks to Bobby Bradley and Yu Chang. Wyatt Mathisen then fielded a Sever grounder and fired a low throw toward second base into shallow left field, allowing Bradley to trot home.

Two innings later, Bradley drilled a 368-foot homer on a line off A.J. Schugel over the right-field wall to double Columbus' advantage. Before the seventh-inning stretch, Brandon Barnes doubled and scored on a Rosales two-out single to left.

The Tribe rallied for three runs after the stretch, taking advantage of two Jon Edwards walks. Jason Martin and Suiter each worked four-pitch free passes, teeing up a Pablo Reyes RBI double and run-scoring singles by Max Moroff and Osuna.

The Indians had an array of fine defensive plays. Martin and Suiter both had lunging catches in center and right field, Moroff took away a base hit in the six-hole with an off-balance throw to first and McRae prevented a push bunt with a diving play off the mound.

Keller yielded one unearned run on two hits and three walks with two strikeouts over 5.0 innings in a no-decision. Mitch Talbot fired 5.0 shutout innings for Columbus, scattering six hits and two walks with four punchouts.

The Indians and Clippers play game two of their three-game series on Wednesday night at 7:05 p.m. EDT. Two southpaws will square off against one another - Indy's Brandon Waddell (4-7, 4.70) and Columbus' Adam Wilk (5-8, 4.04).
