INDIANAPOLIS - Jaff Decker hit a walkoff homer against former Indianapolis Indians closer Andy Oliver in the bottom of the 10th inning in a 3-2 win over the Durham Bulls on Tuesday night at Victory Field.

Pedro Florimon, who was a late addition to the Tribe's lineup, tied the game with a two-out, two-run double in the bottom of the ninth. His base hit bounced into the left-field corner and scored a pair of walks in John Bowker and Steve Lombardozzi.

Right-hander Chris Volstad pitched seven solid innings for the third straight start in his no-decision. He allowed just two runs and struck out seven to improve to 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA (3 ER/21.0 IP) and 18 strikeouts over his last three starts.

John Holdzkom (2-0) earned the win for the Tribe (42-25) with two punchouts in a scoreless 10th inning.

Oliver (0-1) took the loss for Durham (39-28) after fanning Gustavo Nunez and yielding the homer to right field to Decker.
