CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Despite scoring four runs off 2010 National League Cy Young Winner Roy Halladay, the Indianapolis Indians fell to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs 6-5 thanks to a late two-run double from Lehigh Valley SS Troy Hanzawa at Carpenter Complex in Clearwater, Fla.

IronPigs RHP Eddie Bonine (4.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 SO) earned the victory after coming on in relief of Halladay while Indianapolis RHP Anthony Claggett (1.0 IP, 3 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K) suffered the loss.

The Tribe led by two runs going into the bottom of the eighth thanks to 2B Christian Colonel's (1-1, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI) solo home run in the top of the frame, however the IronPigs staged a comeback by taking advantage of a pair of Indians errors. A sacrifice fly from RF Cory Sullivan narrowed the Tribe's lead to one, before Hanzawa's (1-4, 2B, 2 RBI) double later in the inning gave Lehigh Valley their first and only lead of the contest.

The Indians jumped on Halladay quick courtesy of a two-run double off the bat of DH Tony Sanchez (1-4, 2B, 2 RBI) in the first and an RBI double from C Travis Scott in the second. Indianapolis also plated a run in the fifth when RF Miles Durham (2-3, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 SB) stole home on a double steal that also saw DH Gorkys Hernandez swipe second.
