Indianapolis Indians News Release


A solo home run by outfield prospect Cal Mitchell - his first career Triple-A dinger - scored the Indianapolis Indians' lone run as they fell to the Omaha Storm Chasers on Tuesday's Opening Night at Victory Field, 4-1.

The long ball to right-center field in the sixth inning was Indianapolis' first of the 2022 campaign, and Mitchell's first in eight Triple-A games dating back to the end of 2021.

Omaha (1-0) broke a scoreless tie through four innings with back-to-back two-run frames in the fifth and sixth. Already with an insurmountable 2-0 lead coming off Osvaldo Bido (L, 0-1), a two-run home run by center fielder JaCoby Jones extended the lead. Marcelo Martinez (W, 1-0) earned the win for the Storm Chasers.

The Indians (0-1) are now 6-7 in season openers at Victory Field dating back to the 1997 season. Their last season-opening win at home came in 2017 when they defeated the Toledo Mud Hens, 7-4.

Tomorrow afternoon, the Indians and Storm Chasers will face off again with first pitch scheduled for 1:35 PM ET. RHP Adonis Medina (0-0, -.--) is set to make his Indians debut against LHP Austin Cox (0-0, -.--).
