Indianapolis Indians News Release
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A pair of solo home runs for the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp edged out the Indianapolis Indians in the series opener at 121 Financial Ballpark, 2-1, on Tuesday night.
Trailing 1-0 after seven innings, the Indians (26-36) knotted the game up with a leadoff walk, a bunt single by Joshua Palacios and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Liover Peguero. However, Jacksonville (29-35) retaliated in the bottom of the eighth with its second solo home run of the night. The go-ahead blast came from Jumbo Shrimp first baseman Troy Johnston against left-hander Brady Feigl (L, 6-2). The Indians were held silent in the top of the ninth by Jacksonville closer Anthony Maldonado (W, 4-2), who finished the game retiring all five hitters he faced.
The Jumbo Shrimp jumped in front in the second inning with a solo home run by Griffin Conine, who left the yard in his fourth consecutive game. Conine's homer was the only run allowed by Indy starter Daulton Jefferies, who worked 5.2 innings of four-hit ball without walking a single hitter.
The Indians and Jumbo Shrimp continue their six-game series in Jacksonville on Wednesday with a 7:05 PM first pitch. Right-hander Domingo Germán (0-3, 7.97) gets the ball for the Indians, opposing Jumbo Shrimp starter Yonny Chirinos (5-4, 3.25).
