LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - A three-run seventh inning put the Indianapolis Indians way in a shutout loss to the Gwinnett Stripers to even the series at one game apiece, 6-0.

Despite the loss, Indians right fielder Miguel Andújar logged his 27th multi-hit game of the season with an opposite field single in the fourth inning and a double down the left field line in the sixth. On the heels of a four-hit night, Andújar raised his clip one point to a league-leading .362, and elevated his OPS three points to 1.003. He is now 6-for-9 to open the month of August after hitting .380 (38-for-100) in July.

The Indians (49-54, 16-13) couldn't muster anything against Gwinnett starter Darius Vines (W, 1-0), who worked 5.1 shutout innings in just his second Triple-A start of the season. The bullpen tandem of Brian Moran and Seth Elledge finished the job, allowing just one hit over 3.2 combined innings in relief.

After Indianapolis opener Andre Jackson worked a 1-2-3 first, left-hander Kent Emanuel (L, 7-5) threw 5.0 innings of relief and allowed a two-run triple to Stripers second baseman Braden Shewmake and an RBI groundout to catcher Joe Hudson. Gwinnett (46-57, 13-15) added three more in the bottom of the seventh, highlighted by RBI hits from right fielder Dalton Guthrie and shortstop Vaughn Grissom.

The Indians and Stripers continue their six-game set on Thursday night at 7:05 PM ET at Coolray Field. Right-hander Luis Ortiz (3-4, 4.40) starts for Indianapolis against Gwinnett left-hander and No. 9 Braves prospect Dylan Dodd (2-5, 7.94).
