Indianapolis Indians News Release


LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Travis Swaggerty and Ji-Hwan Bae laced triples in back-to-back innings, but the Gwinnett Stripers scored nine runs over the first four frames to hand the Indianapolis Indians their fourth consecutive loss on Thursday night, 10-5.

The Stripers (32-31) never trailed while continuing their recent dominance over the Indians (30-31). The 10-5 setback marked Indy's 12th loss in its last 13 games at Coolray Field and 19th in its last 23 games overall against Gwinnett since the start of the 2018 season.

After first pitch was delayed by 41 minutes, Gwinnett grabbed a brief 1-0 lead in the opening inning on a sacrifice fly. Rodolfo Castro brought the Indians back even at 1-1 in the second with a sacrifice fly of his own following Swaggerty's third three-bagger of the season, but the Stripers pulled away from there.

The Stripers overshadowed Indy's three-run third inning with four runs in the second, one in the third and three in the fourth to go up 9-4. Down four through two innings, the Indians hung around thanks to a run-scoring balk, an RBI triple off the bat of Bae and a Bligh Madris infield single that made it 5-4.

Swaggerty and Bae paired together for Indianapolis' final tally in the fifth. Bae reached second base on a throwing error, took third on a Madris groundout and scored on a two-out bunt single by Swaggerty. The Indians' last threat came in the sixth inning when they loaded the bases with one out, but Jared Oliva struck out and Bae grounded out.

Bryce Elder (W, 3-3) pitched into the sixth inning and yielded five runs (four earned) on eight hits and one walk with three strikeouts in 5.0 frames. Osvaldo Bido (L, 1-4) surrendered six runs (five earned) on seven hits - including two home runs - in the defeat.

The Indians committed four errors to up their season total to 68, second highest in Triple-A. Oneil Cruz, Bae, Swaggerty and Taylor Davis had two hits apiece.

Indianapolis and Gwinnett will meet again Friday at 7:05 PM ET at Coolray Field. RHP Jerad Eickhoff (3-3, 5.27) is expected to start for Indy against LHP Tucker Davidson (1-2, 4.02).
