Jones Fans Seven in First Career Triple-A Win

Indianapolis Indians News Release

INDIANAPOLIS - Jared Jones fanned seven batters in 4.0 relief innings as the Indianapolis Indians pitching staff held the Memphis Redbirds to just two hits in Friday night's 2-1 win at Victory Field.

Jones (W, 1-1) earned his first career Triple-A win in his first relief outing since July 11, 2021, with Single-A Bradenton vs. Clearwater. He allowed one run on a hit, two walks with seven punchouts. Indians (40-44, 7-3) relievers Jose Hernandez, Andre Jackson and Colin Selby (S, 4) combined for 4.0 no-hit innings to silence Memphis' offense, with the only blemish coming on a Kramer Robertson walk in the eighth.

After Memphis (41-44, 2-8) scored its lone run of the contest in the fourth, the Indians plated two in the following inning to capture a lead they did not relinquish. Vinny Capra singled before Alika Williams sent him home on an RBI single. Later in the frame, center fielder Ryan Vilade poked a ground ball up the middle off Ryan Loutos (L, 2-2) to score the go-ahead run. Both teams were held scoreless after the fifth frame.

Miguel Andújar, Vilade and Williams each notched two-hit nights. Andújar extended his hitting streak to nine games. Williams clubbed his fourth multi-hit game in July while hitting .346 (9-for-26).

The two hits allowed by Indians pitching tied the fewest allowed this season, marking the third time this season and the first since April 9 at Louisville.

The Indians and Redbirds will play the penultimate game of their six-game series Saturday night at 7:05 PM ET. Southpaw Kent Emanuel (6-3, 6.08) will take the hill for Indy against Memphis' RHP Thomas Parsons (0-5, 6.94).
