Indianapolis Indians News Release
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Louisville Bats (41-42) and Indianapolis Indians (49-34) traded early home runs in front of a capacity crowd of 14,414, but where Corey Hart went deep on a solo shot, the Bats' Yorman Rodriguez and Hernan Iribarren homered for a combined five RBIs to down the Tribe 9-2 on Saturday night at Victory Field.
Iribarren finished 2-for-4 with two runs and three RBIs and Rodriguez went 2-for-5 while scoring once and driving in three runs. Brennan Boesch chipped in a game-high three hits and is batting .420 in 14 Triple-A games.
Indians starter Adrian Sampson (6-7) lost for the fourth time in as many decisions. His counterpart, Dylan Axelrod (6-5), allowed just three fewer hits but allowed only two runs during his sixth win.
Brent Morel singled in the fourth inning to extend his hitting streak to a team-high 11 games, and is now just one shy of his career-best streak from the 2014 season.
