Gwinnett Stripers News Release


LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - The Indianapolis Indians ended the Gwinnett Stripers' five-game winning streak Thursday, taking the finale of a four-game series by a 10-3 score at Coolray Field.

Left-hander Luiz Gohara made the start for Gwinnett and was roughed up in his 4.1 innings of work.

In the second inning, Kevin Kramer hit a one-out single, then Gohara walked Ryan Lavarnway. With two outs, Pablo Reyes knocked a single to give the Indians a 1-0 advantage. Indianapolis would make it 2-0 an inning later on back-to-back two-out doubles by Austin Meadows and Jose Osuna.

Rio Ruiz tripled to start the third inning and was driven in on an Austin Riley double to center, cutting the deficit to 2-1.

Indianapolis would score two more in the fourth, however, on a Reyes RBI triple and a Newman RBI groundout. Gohara (L, 1-4) finished at 91 pitches with one out in the fifth. He allowed seven hits, four earned runs and a walk with four strikeouts.

The away side hopped all over reliever Andres Santiago in the sixth inning, increasing the lead to 8-2. The Indians batted around in the frame, highlighted by an Adam Frazier two-run single and a Meadows two-run home run.

Santiago allowed five hits, four runs (three earned) and a walk in 1.0 inning before he was pulled for Chad Bell, who struck out two batters to prevent further damage. Bell tossed 2.0 scoreless innings with three whiffs.

Fernando Salas, making his Stripers' debut, served up a two-run homer to Newman to make it 10-2 in the ninth.

Riley went 2-for-4 and drove in all three runs for the Stripers, adding a sacrifice fly in the fifth and an RBI single in the ninth. Ruiz scored two of those runs while tallying two triples on a 3-for-4 night. It was the fourth two-triple game for a Gwinnett player, the last coming from Emilio Bonifacio on August 20, 2016 vs. Rochester.

For Indianapolis (51-44), Kramer was 5-for-5 for the team's first five-hit game since Josh Harrison on May 28, 2011. Reyes was 4-for-5 with three runs scored.

J.T. Brubaker (W, 5-3) went 5.0 innings with eight hits, two earned runs and two walks allowed with five strikeouts. Montana DuRapau (H, 2) pitched 3.0 scoreless innings in relief.

The Stripers (44-53) open a three-game series Friday against the Pawtucket Red Sox beginning at 7:05 p.m. from Coolray Field. Right-hander Touki Toussaint (1-0, 1.35 ERA) will go for Gwinnett, while the PawSox will start lefty Jalen Beeks (5-5, 3.05 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. Dave Lezotte has the play-by-play call on 97.7 and 93.5 FM "The Other Side of the River" beginning at 6:35 p.m.
