Indianapolis Indians News Release


DES MOINES, Iowa - Cam Alldred recorded the first quality start of his career, but the Indianapolis Indians went 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position to drop their third consecutive game to the Iowa Cubs at Principal Park on Friday night, 2-1.

The Indians (29-39) stranded runners in scoring position in each of the first four innings. In the ninth, Cal Mitchell led off the frame with a double and Jared Triolo set up runners at the corners with no outs. Manuel Rodríguez (S, 9) shut down Indy's threat with a strikeout and double play to end the game.

The I-Cubs (37-28) got on the board first courtesy of a David Bote solo home run in the bottom of the second inning. Alldred (L, 2-1) then countered by leaving his next 10 batters faced without a hit, three of which reached base safely by a pair of walks and fielding error. A fifth-inning double by Levi Jordan marked Iowa's next hit, and he came around to score on a Bryce Windham sacrifice fly.

After squaring the ball up all night with three consecutive triple-digit exit velocities resulting in outs, Endy Rodríguez punched a ball 104.7 MPH through the right side of the infield to plate Indianapolis' only run in the eighth. Consecutive two-out walks set up Indy's first breakthrough in eight chances with a runner in scoring position. In total, the Indians went 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position.

Triolo continued his hot streak against the I-Cubs this week with his second three-hit performance in four games. In the series, he is hitting .471 (8-for-17) with three extra-base hits. Nick Gonzales closely followed him with two hits, his third such performance in four games of the series.

Pirates No. 18 prospect RHP Kyle Nicolas is set to take the mound for Indianapolis tomorrow in his Triple-A debut after being officially promoted from Double-A Altoona today. He'll face RHP Chris Clarke (0-2, 2.93).
