Ronny Rodriguez's sacrifice fly to right field scoring Bryson Myles was the difference at Huntington Park on Wednesday afternoon, as the Clippers walked off a 3-2 winner in 10 innings over Indianapolis in front of a gathering of 10,100.

Jesus Aguilar broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fourth inning with his RBI double scoring Ronny Rodriguez from second base.

Adam Moore continued his hot hitting in this series with an RBI single the next at bat, giving the Clippers a 2-0 lead.

Josh Bell launched his seventh home run of the season in the top of the sixth and Adam Frazier's RBI triple in the eighth tied the game at two until Rodriguez's RBI sac fly in the 10th.

In his first start for Indianapolis, right-hander Justin Masterson gave up two earned runs on six hits while walking one and fanning five.
