Indianapolis struck first with an RBI single by Starling Marte in the third to take a 1-0 lead. The run was the only one allowed by Hens starter Adam Wilk, who threw seven strong innings, allowing four hits while striking out seven.
The Hens tied it up in the fifth after Audy Ciriaco blasted a homer for the second night in a row. The Mud Hens managed four hits off Indians starter Jeff Locke, who left in the sixth after striking out nine and walking seven.
