TOLEDO, Ohio - Despite out-hitting the Toledo Mud Hens 9-3, the Indianapolis Indians were shut out to halt a three-game winning streak on Wednesday night at Fifth Third Field, 3-0.

After a scoreless first inning, the Mud Hens (47-46) got to Indians right-hander Cody Bolton (L, 2-2) for two runs in the second. The first run came on a fielder's choice and a throwing error, allowing Toledo shortstop Brendon Davis to score, and center fielder Derek Hill promptly followed with an RBI double. Hill provided insurance in the seventh with a run-producing single to center field.

Major League rehabber Matt Manning (W, 1-1) blanked the Indians (44-48) with 5 2/3 shutout innings for Toledo. Working his way back from both shoulder inflammation and biceps tendinitis, Manning struck out six and allowed five hits while walking two. After former Indian Sam Howard and left-hander Luis Castillo worked 2 1/3 scoreless innings, rehabber Wily Peralta (S,1) worked around a leadoff single from Indians third baseman Rodolfo Castro and a two-out double from center fielder Travis Swaggerty and finished the job for the Mud Hens.

The Indians bullpen, led by right-hander Noe Toribio and left-hander Eric Stout combining for 4 1/3 perfect innings, allowed just one hit and one run over their seven innings of work. With Stout's four outs, Indians left handed relievers have combined to allow just eight runs in 48 2/3 innings since June 22.

The Indians were shut out for just the third time this season. The last time Indianapolis was shut out was in Columbus on July 14 in a 7-0 loss. Despite the lack of run production, Castro, shortstop Tucupita Marcano, and first baseman Bligh Madris all logged multi-hit games.

Indianapolis and Toledo continue the six-game series tomorrow night at 7:05 PM from Fifth Third Field. RHP Jerad Eickhoff (5-4, 4.35) will toe the rubber for the Indians, opposing Toledo RHP Cody Sedlock (1-0, 1.80).
