Indianapolis Indians News Release


INDIANAPOLIS - The Iowa Cubs took an insurmountable lead with five runs in the first two innings and never slowed down, plating double digits to defeat the Indianapolis Indians in Tuesday night's series opener at Victory Field, 10-4.

The I-Cubs (69-49, 26-19) offensive outpouring was highlighted by a trio of home runs to spark a pair of four-run frames. With one run already scored in the first inning, Jake Slaughter launched a homer to left field to plate three. In the seventh, Matt Mervis and Alexander Canario went back-to-back to score four insurance runs in the frame.

The Indians (55-64, 22-23) hit their share of home runs, with Miguel Andújar and Jared Triolo each sending solo shots out to left field in the sixth. Triolo's second Triple-A dinger of the season narrowly dodged the foul pole to leave the yard. Indianapolis then scored two runs in the eighth on a two-run single by Domingo Leyba.

Jared Jones (L, 2-3) got the start for Indianapolis and tossed 5.0 innings with six runs allowed, three walks and five strikeouts. His counterpart, Shane Greene (W, 1-0), tossed 5.0 shutout frames with six punchouts.

Andújar and Triolo led the offense with three hits apiece, with Andújar finishing a triple shy of the cycle.

The Indians will look to knot the series tomorrow afternoon at 1:35 PM ET at Victory Field. In a battle of southpaws, Cam Alldred (7-6, 5.30) will take the mound against LHP Jordan Wicks (3-0, 3.82).
