INDIANAPOLIS - Despite being held scoreless with only two hits through eight innings, the Rochester Red Wings surged for five runs in the ninth to defeat the Indianapolis Indians in Sunday's series finale, 5-2. The Indians finished their 12-game homestand with an 8-4 record.

Down two runs in the top of the ninth, Rochester's (55-68) bats came alive to score five runs on five hits. After a Taylor Gushue RBI groundout cut the deficit in half and an intentional walk loaded the bases, Adrian Sanchez roped a bases-clearing double off Noe Toribio (L, 3-2) to give the Red Wings a 4-2 lead. Andrew Stevenson tacked on an additional run with an RBI single to put the game out of reach. Jordan Weems (W, 3-2) tossed the final two innings for Rochester.

The Indians (62-59) got on the board first for the fourth consecutive game in the bottom of the first with an RBI double by Diego Castillo. In the fifth inning, a double off the bat of Ji-Hwan Bae that one-hopped the left-center wall scored Josh Bissonette from second base to give Indy a 2-0 lead.

After Mike Burrows tossed 2.0 hitless innings. Osvaldo Bido (4.0ip), Nick Mears (1.0ip) and Travis MacGregor (1.0ip) combined to hold the shutout through the eighth inning.

The Indians begin a 13-game road trip with six games at Louisville and seven games to follow at Omaha. Tuesday's series opener at Louisville Slugger Field is set for 7:05 PM ET, and neither team has named a starting pitcher.
