Toledo starter, Josh Zeid made his fourth start and improved his record to 4-3 and a 4.46 ERA.

Mud Hens' catcher, Manny Pina is currently sitting on a five game hit-streak, going 1-for-3 on the evening with a solo home run to center field. The following at-bat, Detroit's number one prospect, Steven Moya blasted a two-run homer. Moya went 1-for-4 on the night. Six of the seven Mud Hens' batters recorded a hit on the evening. Toledo sits in the 11th place spot for team batting average in the International league with a .252.
Indianapolis capitalized in the first and seventh inning, both scoring on line drives to right field. Keon Broxton and John Bowker produced Indianapolis's only RBI. The Indians were limited to seven hits thanks to the Toledo pitching core.

Cessa has a record of 1-2 with an ERA of 5.56. This story was not subject to the approval of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues or its clubs.
