INDIANAPOLIS - Kevin Kramer blasted a three-run homer to cap a five-run opening frame and Clay Holmes fired seven shutout innings as the Indianapolis Indians snapped a six-game losing streak with a 7-0 win over Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday night at Victory Field.
The Indians (26-27) won for the first time in a week thanks to a career-high tying four RBI by Kramer and Holmes' sparkling start.
