INDIANAPOLIS - Seeking their first home win of the season, the Indianapolis Indians came up short in a 3-2 loss to the St. Paul Saints on Thursday night at Victory Field. The setback was Indy's sixth straight at the Vic, the longest home winless streak to start a season since dropping its first seven home contests in 1972.

Tied 2-2 in the eighth inning, St. Paul (7-4) cashed in a leadoff walk on a one-out double by Ryan LaMarre. Mark Contreras drew the free pass, took second on a Carmen Mlodzinski (L, 0-1) wild pitch and swiped third base ahead of LaMarre's game-winning two-bagger.

Contreras spotted the Saints a 2-0 advantage in the third inning with a two-out single that scored Tony Wolters and Elliot Soto. Wolters and Soto reached base to start the frame on a hit by pitch and walk.

Indianapolis (5-7) tallied single runs in the third and fourth innings to draw even. Chris Owings laced a double to open Indy's half of the third and later scored on a Tucupita Marcano groundout. Nick Gonzales and Miguel Andújar tag-teamed with one away in the fourth, stringing together a triple and double.

Cam Alldred got the nod for the Indians and yielded two earned runs on three hits and one walk with six strikeouts over 4.0 innings in a no-decision. Hunter Stratton and Daniel Zamora combined for three shutout innings in relief.

Austin Schulfer (W, 1-0) recorded five outs to earn the win, and José De León (S, 1) induced a double play lineout off the bat of Cal Mitchell to pitch around a leadoff walk and two-out single.

Indianapolis will look to snap its winless home stretch on Friday at 7:05 PM ET at Victory Field. RHP Aaron Sanchez (0-0, 6.14) will take the mound for the Saints, while Indy has yet to name a starter.
